Send the "Authentication" header with the "username:password" but encoded in base64
Donie -----Original Message----- From: Frank Lawlor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 September 2002 20:47 To: 'Tomcat' Subject: Automatic Client Login My application uses Form-based authentication. However, I would like to be able to have a request from a client automacally log in without their seeing the form by passing the userid/password with an HTTP request. I thought I saw one time some syntax like: http://myhost?user=someone&password=base64pwd/. Is there some way to set the userid and password in the header from a page (genrated by a JSP) sent from the server to the client so that the login occurs silently (e.g. a page with just javascript that does an automatic submit or a redirect from the server)?
