.htpasswd in codeigniter

Question

Hello there I want to password protect one of my controllers in codeigniter. This is the code in .htaccess

# password-protect single file
<Files my_controller.php>
AuthName "my_controller.php"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home2/afolder/.htpasswds/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</Files>

the problem is that myController.php will show up in my url as /my_controller/ (no .php) so the protection has no effect...can I do something to overcome this problem? thanks in advance

Finally the solution was as simple as that...

# password-protect single file
<Files my_controller>
AuthName "my_controller"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home2/afolder/.htpasswds/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</Files>

just removed .php and everything is fine...
