jhurst: both of your proposed answers seemed to be better fit if they were just posted as comments. You should try not to lock the question down so other experts can help out.
I do not agree with that r_fritz, but appreciate the input.
The first proposed answer actually did answer the question that it can ot be done, which is the case.
Then the question was modified to ask if there was another way of achieving the same effect. The method will and does work and so is an answer.

If you are trying to have a page that gets past this, then the answer is NO.
Why would you want to do this? If the page needs protection then it needs protection, if it does not then it does not. Or, are you trying to store it for someone else's pages?
