Note Submitter: neo at darkxproz dot net ---- 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>
