What is the best format for preventing googlebot (et al) from indexing a website
4wd:
Asking Apache is going to be the next step for sure.
I need to know what software doesn't work with Apache's .htaccess password control as that is why the problem came up to start with.
A couple of sites that we ran for this one client would not work for them becuase their systems blocked any sites we made that used .htaccess to ask for a password.-questorfla (July 16, 2020, 10:26 PM)

You don't use .htaccess for login/password control, you use it to filter out domains that shouldn't have access to the site.
Domains filtered get redirected to an error 403 document.
