Well, I'm completely wrong:
http://apache.mirrors.esat.net/docs/mod/core.html#require
<QUOTE>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Directory"
AuthUserFile /web/users
AuthGroupFile /web/groups
require group admin
Access controls which are applied in this way are effective for all methods.

to specific methods, while leaving other methods unprotected, then place the
require statement into a <Limit> section.
