Hello,
is it possible to use the HTTP authentification with servlets? This is a
very useful mechanism and it is a real advantage of PHP.
I have found one mail in this newsgroup in which it was mentioned that it
should be possible to get the remote user name with getRemoteUserName(). Is
it possible to use sessions with the HTTP authentification or do you have to
create and manage your own hashtables with information about all
authentificated users?
The reason why I want to user HTTP authentification and not the usual
session mechanism is, that I don't want to set cookies and I can't use the
encodeURL mechanism, because the user would loose its session after
selecting a static HTML page.
If someone has experiences with this topic please let me know. I am grateful
for any comments!
Ulrich
