note 45245 added to features.http-auth

I found no good way than to post in the usual username:password@host format for HTTP Authentication without using it in the URL. My clients see their password in the URL and for any other colleague to see through while passing by. I can't insist to get the security update for each and every client who is downloading my script. Is there way to send the usernames & password through POST requests for HTTP Authentication? (That is, the user must not be prompted with a browser Authentication Box but a custom form can post to a php script which can do this indirectly to the HTTP Authentication page) Thanks in Advance Neo <neo@darkxproz.net> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45245 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45245&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45245&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
