HTTP Basic auth with static route

[nebnes]

Hello,

I am trying to find a solution to protect a route (static) with HTTP Basic auth.
I have protected the route with nginx. But when I click on the link a soft loading is execute and the page is load without pass trough the HTTP auth. I have try also to use a simple "a" tag instead of "next/Link" but when I export the site the html is not generated for this page.

Have you an idea ?
Thanks in advance

Hey,
Have you tried to protect the request to JSON as well? I mean when you go to a page via next/link it requests JSON for rendering and that JSON has the name of the page. You can try to add something like _next/.*/page.json$ where page is the name of the protected page.

Thank you @akellbl4

I have protected the following resources for a "$page" with Nginx:
^/(assets/$page|$page|_next/(.*)/$page.json)
and I also replace the <next/Link> lead to this page by a tag to avoid automatic prefetch (which triggers the http auth prompt).
