Just got a basic loginmanager setup working with an SQL backend based off the howto. Very simple once I figured out a couple things (thanks dlpierson whoever you are). Anyways... I want to be able to support both cookie based auth and basic auth. With cookie based auth being the default unless they don't have cookies (either because they have them turned off, behind a proxy filter, etc), in which case they should use basic auth. The problem is I'm not sure how to get it to use something other than cookie based auth. The default setup tries to use cookie auth whether or not cookies are in use. Any tips on how to get this working? I know there is no great way of detecting cookies, besides setting one and testing for it. But even if I did this, how do I say I want basic auth if the test cookie isn't found. Thanks in advance for any tips/advice. -- John Eikenberry [jae@zhar.net - http://zhar.net] ______________________________________________________________ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will deserve neither and lose both." --B.
