Indeed.
I don't really understand what you are asking here. Presumably in a system
where only username/password credentials are desired, only username/
password credentials will be used.
I was hoping that the authentication scheme you're defining can be used
without parsing the HTML response.
A simple way to achieve it would be to restrict it to username/password
pairs, and to have the names of these form parameters live in the
response headers as well.
OK, so how do you tell a mount command that your credentials are more
complex than username/password?
How do you tell a mount command that your credentials are a certificate?
If your credentials are a cert, why would you use form-base logon? (I
admit I'm not an expert on these issue, so please by patient with me).
