It isn't - Basic Authentication is part of the HTTP standard. To quote: "The basic authentication scheme is a non-secure method of filtering unauthorized access to resources on an HTTP server. It is based on the assumption that the connection between the client and the server can be regarded as a trusted carrier. As this is not generally true on an open network, the basic authentication scheme should be used accordingly" - http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http-spec.html#BasicAA -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk><http://blog.dorward.me.uk> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
