Is there a way I can pass the auth_user and auth_pw variables as URL variables that are masked? What i would like, is something that looks like this www.url.com?username=****&pass=**** where the **** strings are masked. I don't want the browser's basic authentication window to pop up because the user has already logged in through our web based form over SSL. I just want a way for the files to be accessable, but I don't want users to be able to just copy the URL and send it to their friends - or just guess file names.
