[NBLUG/talk] .htaccess - how does it work?

[Doug Palmer]

OK, the subject line is a bit simplified. I know how to use it and the
setup is running fine, but now I'm trying to find out how it *actually*
works at the protocol level (firewall problems)
 
The basics:
 
User requests a web page.
Apache finds access controls for that page.
Apache sends an auth request to client
Client replies with username/password.
Apache sends page to client (assuming auth is good)
 
Question: Does the auth/reply use a different port than the normal http
80? Or should I look somewhere else?
