I dont understand actually, if == checks if the a/v is 'equal' then it
must also ensure that it is present.

About := replacing passwords =) I feel like from another planet. It might
only work in a reply item I think. Wouldnt the person authenticate all the
time if it was replacing the a/v pairs in the request?

Anyhow I will change to == just to obey the standarts although I think :=
is working also for me...
