On our server, we have replaced the .nsconfig file with a .kwconfig. This file funtions in the same way as the .nsconfig. Unlike the original Netscape directives, which allow you to specify which files in the current directory and any of its subdirectories that the directive should apply to, our directive behaves in a similar fashion to AFS access control lists and simply applies to all of the files in the current directory and its subdirectories. HTTP-method is optional. Type can be allow or deny.
Type is optional.
If the type is not specified in the directive, it defaults to allow. If any of the subdirectories contain a .kwconfig file, that directive overrides the former directive. When a request is received, the directory which contains the requested file is checked for a .kwconfig file. If no .kwconfig exists, the parent directory is checked. This process continues until a .kwconfig file is found or the server root directory is reached.
