Hi all, I'm having a hard time finding how an http authentication works and how it could be used with a file containing the logins and pass I want the user's entry to be compared to.
So in more details the present situation is: - I have a file containing the logins and pass from some users - I have a perl CGI script looking if there is a certain cookie - if the cookie is there I can display the web page - if the cookie is not there I pop up a 401 and ask the user for login and pass And I want to get those login and pass the user enters and check them with the contents of my file. I read somewhere there was no way to get the password, but I am able to get it using php (with the $HTTP_AUTH_PASSW var). So I'm confused... Is there any nice location where I can learn more about this or a general solution (I would be pleased not to use a separate form to get the user's login and pass but I think I will do that while not finding a solution).
