Hi there, Im doing lab 7.5. After doing everything as in the solution, I get the following answer

lynx -dump http://192.168.100.19/secure/ -auth=bob:heyman!
Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

then I made an index.html file inside that folder. But I got the same answer:
lynx -dump http://192.168.100.19/secure/index.html -auth=bob:heyman!
Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

My question is: how do I know if I am logging into the folder?

    This worked on my system, I think you have the arguments in the wrong place in the command.

    [rt@c9s secure]# lynx -auth=bob:heyman! -dump http://localhost/secure/

    secure directory

    To get prompted for the user and password the following works:

    [rt@c9s secure]# lynx http://localhost/secure/

    The lynx command has the options before the URL. From the man page:

    lynx [options] [optional paths or URLs]
