I need to restrict access to a particular URL, e.g. http://mydomain.com/this/is/the/url on my webserver using Basic Authentication through Apache. Any other URL should be openly accessible. I have seen that you can add specific rules to files using:
<Files "mypage.html">
Require valid-user
</Files>
My problem is that all requests are routed to controllers using mod-rewrite and so I don't think that I can restrict access based on the file. Any ideas would be most helpful!

The username and password must be added with the format − https://username:password@URL.
The htpasswd command allows you to create a password file that Apache can use to authenticate users. You'll create a hidden file for this purpose called . htpasswd within your /etc/apache2 configuration directory. The first time you use this utility, you need to add the -c option to create the specified .
Basic authentication is easy to define. In the global securityDefinitions section, add an entry with type: basic and an arbitrary name (in this example - basicAuth). Then, apply security to the whole API or specific operations by using the security section.
In .htacess file you should put :
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Need to login"
AuthUserFile .htpasswd file location ;
Require user USER
//AuthName is login prompt message
//AuthUserFile is physical .htpasswd file location i.e.
C:/xampp/htdocs/basic/.htpasswd
//Require user is for a specific user i.e. the username you want to
authenticate
To generate .htpasswd file you can use : - http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/
