title: How would I require a password for all files except one using .htaccess?
body: <p>I have a new website I'm working on that the client wants to keep a secret, but at the same time, I want to put an under construction page with some info on it. I would like to have everything except index.html require a user/password--index.html would be available to everyone.</p>
  
  <p>I have the following, but I'm not sure what I need to add:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AuthName "Restricted Area"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthUserFile /path/to/file/.htpasswd
  AuthGroupFile /dev/null
  require valid-user
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are too many files and possibly new files to say "for this set of files require a user/password".</p>
  
  <p>I think it has something to do with something similar to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Files index.html&gt;
  order deny,allow
  allow from all
  &lt;/Files&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I'm not exactly sure how.</p>
