Very helpful - I didn't realize the subtly of require shibboleth - thanks!

I believe it should be showing me the contents of /foo - yes?

No, require valid-user has always meant "has session". You're thinking of require shibboleth (which means "Apache is broken, but make it work by sticking in a dummy require rule").

A proposal was made to optionally make static access control work by only enforcing it if a session is found, rather than no matter what, but I haven't yet implemented that (or decided whether I will).

For security reasons, the default behavior will remain as is, though. Lazy sessions were not designed to work with static enforcement.
