Well its not mandatory i gues. I just thought that using
HTTP-Authentication was one of the more secure ways of a login system?
But i have heared not thats not the case, so i might go for a login
system with sessions instead, or cookies. What would u use and why? What
excactly do u mean with timeouts?
