how to limit Apache to accept request only from localhost for specific url?

Question

I want to approve only to local host to send requests to

https://localhost:443/action/start.cgi

I know I can limit access to directory.

<Directory "/usr/local/httpd/htdocs">
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Is there an option to block all ips beside localhost for specific path?

You will have to add this rule to .htaccess.

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
