You can try adding your own .htaccess at your webroot or even the |
| 24 |
directory in question and see if that overrides the default settings. |
| 25 |
Depending on how much they have locked down the apache configuration |
| 26 |
you may be able to override their default settings with yours as far |
| 27 |
as your particular directory is concerned. |
