It authenticates a user with the given id and password and if 
it matches sends the user a cookie which will automatically
athenticate him when it is sent back.

The function does not return whether or not the authentication
succeeded; maybe it should.

HTTP authentication takes precedence over Cookie authentication,
so if you're allready logged in you won't notice any effect from
the cookie.
