In a client-server based scenario, this is alright because the application
can be seen to be running in the context of the logged-in user, and so the
access privileges behave accordingly, as you mentioned. 
But would something like this work for web-based applications ? i.e. where a
user just visits a URL to run the ASP code (executed on the server). 
Would the user's credentials be available just as the scenario above ?
