How would I configure Apache to allow connections not from 127.0.0.1 but require a password (while for connections from 127.0.0.1 not require a password)?

That would do it, but I've decided against making my entire local webserver public since HTTP authentication passwords are easily sniffed and should be avoided.

There's no need to use basic authentication, there are other options.

Are you referring to Digest? Seems half-baked.
Oh, and I have to use Apache's access control mechanisms because I'm using it to make my local SVN server available remotely.
If I was smart, I'd get SSL working, but it's been a pain so far.
