# Disable post-deploy reachability check notification for auth-only site

I have a site with Ploi's staging/prod setup. The staging site is password-protected (HTTP Basic Auth). Each time I deploy to staging, I get an email notification that the site returned 401 – which is expected.

I'd like at least one of the following options:
* disable the check per site
* provide HTTP Basic Authentication credentials per site OR if it's feasible, let ploi auto-detect password-protected paths of the site to determine if the check needs credentials

Shipped: when the health URL answers with a 401 basic authentication prompt, Ploi now treats the site as reachable and no longer emails you after a deploy. To turn the check off completely for a site, leave its Health URL empty in the site settings.
