How to exclude subfolder from password protection with .htaccess
So if you want to protect a website with .htaccess and .htpasswd basically you will use
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Password Protected Area”
AuthUserFile /path/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
If you want a subdirectory to be excluded from auth like .well-known , for lets encrypt then a easy way it to create a .htaccess on .well-known directory and place in it
Satisfy any
Other version is to insert into vhosts
<Location /.well-known>
Require all granted
</Location>Another one is to add
SetEnvIf Request_URI “path/to/excluded/directory/” allow
SetEnvIf Request_URI “path/to/excluded/file” allow
Order allow,deny
Allow from env=allow
Satisfy any
And anothe one is to add
Require expr %{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^/.well-known/acme-challenge/#
Before require valid user

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand
Well today I am facing another problem.
Got this answer on a apache behind a proxy .
400 Bad Request
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.
So .. it appear the header that is received by webserver is bigger then normal .
Solution is to increase it .
LimitRequestFieldSize 32760
LimitRequestLine 32760
Please note that is loaded from first VirtualHost.
One solution is to tested with this
curl -v -H “CustomHeader: `printf ‘1%.0s’ {1..n}`” localhost
Where n can be replace with a value of for example 20000

Letsencrypt UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xfc in positio
Well today I was trying to issue a ssl on a old server and find this
File “/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/augeas.py”, line 147, in get
return dec(value.value)
File “/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/augeas.py”, line 65, in dec
return st.decode(AUGENC)
UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xfc in position 15: invalid start byte
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.
A short workaround was to modify the
“/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/augeas.py”
the 65 line was something
return st.encode(AUGENC)
with
return st.decode(AUGENC, ‘ignore’)
It worked to get a new certificate .
