I have some content which I want protected against most visitors to my site, but some I want to grant access.

htaccess would seem the logical route, but I also want to provide a zero-login option for those people I want to grant access.

For the non-Microsoft world I could provide a URL with the htaccess login and password embedded:

  http://user:[email protected]/content/

But IE7 doesn't allow URLs with embedded passwords. :(

I've tried a CGI that does its own authentication and then redirects, but even redirecting to a URL like the one above with an embedded password is not allowed with IE.

How can I protect that directory and also provide access to the folder for those I give a login and password to, without requiring them to manually log in each time?
