A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Cookie-based HTTP Authentication
Author(s) : T. Broyer
Filename : draft-broyer-http-cookie-auth-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2009-01-04
This document specifies an HTTP authentication scheme for use when credentials
are validated by an out-of-band mechanism (not defined
here) and later communicated to the server through the use of a cookie. Which
out-of-band mechanism should be used, and how, is described by the 401
(Unauthorized) response body. It is common practice that this mechanism is an
HTML form, sending the user's credentials with the use of an HTTP POST request
to a tier URL which will set a cookie in response; though this document doesn't
preclude the use of other mechanisms.
