Hi Henrik:


There is no such thing as a "login session" in HTTP, and if it was it would certainly not span multiple web sites..

The only reason why you do not see a login box in each and every request
is because your web browser is smart and assumes that if login was
required for one request to the web site (or proxy in case of proxy
authentication) then it will also be required for the next request to
the same web site (or proxy in case of proxy authentication) and assumes
the same login+password should be used again there as well.


A typical chain of events for a web site requiring authentication:


< GET /

401 Unauthorized


< GET /, Authorize=login:password


200 OK


< GET /images/something.gif, Authorize=login:password


200 OK



And from this I think it is obvious that the browser has to ask again
before sending the same login:password to another web site..


I see... but I think I wasn't clear. I gonna make some experiments

around here and give you a feedback.

regards.
