Our XForms application is pulling in various resources which are protected by Basic authentication. Given that XForms simply offers the src="XXX" syntax for accessing these external resources, what do people do/advise?

I can make it work by using the syntax:

http(s)://[username]:[password]@[requested URL]

(although my colleague gets a "401 (Unauthorised)" error for exactly the same URL), but this is surely a massive security hole, since the username and password are sitting there in full view in the XForms document.

Any thoughts or advice welcome!

Richard
