Hi Jeremias,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response. Let me clarify some issues.

Yes, that was exactly that missing piece of information!

Well, I'm looking at general authentication procedure, not just basic http
authentication. That means that in some cases Java program, which starts
whole transformation process, resides on client machine and have opened let
say database connection and thus keeps that connection related session
information in some object. But I don't see that I could pass an arbitrary
object/parameter to FOUserAgent and then reuse that when I need from inside
extension.

It's PDF file embedding feature I was looking into last year (you may remind
my several question on where to start), but had no time to do. Though
currently it's very close to initial completion after various experiments
with other tools, which already do that.
