Dear Hastings Borough Council,

I refer to your email dated 5 February 2019 FOIR 104761399, which I have logged as a new Freedom of Information request in respect to providing me Apache Web Server.

I understand that under the Apache .htaccess Guide & Tutorial any IP Address can be denied
The visitor blocking facilities offered by the Apache Web Server enable us to deny access to specific visitors, or allow access to specific visitors. This is extremely useful for blocking unwanted visitors, or to only allow the web site owner access to certain sections of the web site, such as an administration area.

To set-up visitors restrictions and blocking, create a .htaccess file following the main instructions and guidance which includes the following text:

order allow,deny
deny from 255.0.0.0
deny from 123.45.6.
allow from all

The above lines tell the Apache Web Server to block visitors from the IP address '255.0.0.0' and '123.45.6.', note the second IP address is missing the fourth set of digits, this means any IP address which matches the firth three set of digits will be blocked, e.g. '123.45.6.10' and '123.45.6.255' would be blocked.

I therefore expect you to provide me with a complete unchanged copy of this .htaccess file located at http://publicaccess.hastings.gov.uk/onli... which has been running at this location since 1st January 2019? If this file has been altered since this date 1st January 2019 please provide the comprehensive list of dates of the file .htacccess being changed so that further clarification can be made.

Yours faithfully,

M Newbold
