Name

deny from env

Synopsis

deny from env=variablename ...
directory, .htaccess

The deny from env directive controls access by the existence of a named environment variable. For instance:

BrowserMatch ^BadRobot/0.9 go_away
<Directory /docroot>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from env=go_away
</Directory>

Access by a browser called BadRobot v0.9 sets an environment variable go_away, which in turn triggers deny from.
