title: Overriding FilesMatch in subdirectory
body: <p>The root of my website includes FilesMatch in the .htaccess to make sure I do not rewrite those files.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;FilesMatch "\.(htm|php|js|css|htc|png|gif|jpe?g|ico|xml|csv|txt|swf|flv|mp4|webm|ogv|mp3|ogg|oga|eot|woff|svg|ttf|pdf|gz)$"&gt;
    RewriteEngine Off
  &lt;/FilesMatch&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is one subdirectory I like to protect by sending all files through a php file to check permission. The htaccess in there is</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /protect.php [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this excludes all files matched by filesmatch in the root. When I try to override (same filesmatch sentence but with RewriteEngine On the files are still ignored.</p>
  
  <p>Can I override FilesMatch in subdirs?</p>
