I'd like to configure Apache to serve files directly from the file system but authenticate/authorize users. How can Apache be configured so it calls my auth middleware?

Basically:

1) Redirect to login if user is not authenticated. Check session cookie against database otherwise.

2) Allow access to certain files based on who the user is (authorization).
