- access to construction area
+ This module provides access to an educational resource construction area.
+ This module is invoked by the URL-related pattern syntax
+ <TT>LocationMatch "^/priv.*"</TT> or <TT>LocationMatch "^/\~.*"</TT>.
+ Authentication of user identity
+ is coordinated through cookies.  The abbreviation "cacc" corresponds
+ to "construction-space access").  If the cookie handle is invalid, then
+ this module returns a forbidden status and makes appropriate log entries.
+ If the cookie handle is valid, status is determined to be okay (and,
+ for the "priv"-type access, the resource is delivered by the
+ <TT>lonconstruct</TT> module).
