The problem is I am trying to implement a simple login method, and barring IE 5.1 and up all browsers behave nice and clean. IE is really erratic, sometimes ti keeps auth info sometimes it doesnt, since it screws up my logout process too. Anyway, thanks for the info. AM Florent Guillaume wrote:
No. RESPONSE.redirect instructs the browser, using a Location header, to try another URL. There is no way in the HTTP protocol to instruct it to use a specific authentication.

Hi,
Is there any way to send the authorisation information gotten by something like :
ac = encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password)) auth = 'Basic %s' % ac
alongwith a RESPONSE.redirect('url') where url is a protected resource, so that the validation does not pop up a username/password box and uses the suth info provided.
TIA. AM
