I am playing with http basic authentication.

I'm open to any advise.

I have some backend rpc stuff that requires a basic http auth (apache
with a simple password file).  My main qooxdoo app is in a non
protected area.  When the app runs I'd like to be able to see if the
browser already has the basic auth headers.  If they do I do nothing.
If they have not logged in I want to bring up a longin screen and set
the name and password on the rpc object so they don't get prompted
with a browser specif popup but rather a page the comes from qooxdoo.


Is there a way for javascript to ask the browser if it is already
authenticated?


The whole site is running on a https server.
