texte = Nope, no way that I know. Apart of cookies, the only way I know of to set theusername/password is the traditional way, i.e. the popup challange. Seemslimiting, but it is the only standard way. I suppose you could see if there isa Javascript command that allows you to change the internal username/password inthe browser, but somehow I doubt even Javascript is that insecure.John Peacock____________________Reply Separator____________________Subject: Setting user/password with a form.

(WebCatalog Talk)Date: 3/20/00 10:51 AMHi all,I'd like to set the Username and password using a form instead of therealm dialog. I can't seem to find anything in HTML4 literatureanywhere. Is this a task that Webcatalog can handle?I setup a (custom)users.db and when I use the form to access a page itworks fine, but I want all my pages to be protected. After the firstpage all proceeding pages give me a unknown user.To get around this i set a cookie to with username and password, butthis seems to be a work around and is not functioning as well as I wouldlike.There must be a way to set the username and password using a form so thebrowser remembers it.Any suggestions would be appreciated.-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to
