Hello,

I would like to bring your attention to a paper I published today:
  http://www.vsecurity.com/download/papers/WeaningTheWebOffOfSessionCookies.pdf

It includes a few minor security problems with HTTP authentication
dialog boxes and password managers in several browsers.

More importantly, it makes an argument for a few small changes to
browser behavior and/or standards.  I would hope that Mozilla
developers could take a look and provide any feedback.  I'm
particularly interested in opinions on the suggested 401 response
behavior change.  I have submitted this information to other browser
vendors as well.

thanks!
tim
