Put any/all the htaccess rewrites you want into your pass protected directory. Then watch as the surfers your are trying to redirect still get to enter a user/pass combo multiple times.
It makes it pointless if you ask me. I'd like to redirect surfers that come from pass trading sites IMMEDIATELY. So far I have found no way to do so. No matter what I try, they still get the user/pass prompt.

I have a way to do this, it's a little bit tricky though...
First you set an environment variable if the referer comes from the cheating site, then fix the redirect as usual, but in the Limit part Allow from that environment variable.
Should I add this to my little tutorial??
