David,
Which FOP processor are you using on the Java side? Does it have specific 
configuration that would allow you to specify a user/password for HTTP 
authentication?

Why do you want to re-login? To utilize permissions on the images?

Yes. The theory being I could then count on ML to do authentication for
me instead of making it up myself.
This is all somewhat pedantic because in this case I don't really need
high security for the images,
just was hoping for a general solution that could be reused 'next time'
when I really want security.

I propose to MarkLogic that implementing a security token mechanism in
the system would be a good thing.
Of course I realize it's a LOT harder to do right then to hack it.  Once
you open the whole can of worms about
passing around pre-authenticated tokens its truely a tough security
problem to solve perfectly so I can see why they
haven't implemented it (yet).   But on the other hand, since it is so
hard to do right, it really is something
that should be done by the system, not re-invented by every user, who
wont do as good a job.
