It's important to note that this only works for pages that require
authentication.
I don't believe that there is a way to retrieve username information via
pages that are accessed anonymously (i.e. if you were trying to retrieve the
name of the anonymous web user.)
I only say this because I tried to retrieve user name for debugging purposes
and couldn't do it. There are/were some POSIX functions/modules that
supposedly do this but I think I screwed something up trying to use them,
and needed to dl() the module or something like that, which I didn't do
because I'm the laziest person alive ^_^
