[cobalt-developers] .htaccess login with perl or php...

["Rob Johnson" <dillybar1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I want to allow users to log in to their control panel using a html form on
the main page.  One way i can accomplish this is, after validating the login
info, forward  them to
http://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/path_to_their_control_panel .  This,
however, is sloppy and insecure.  I don't want to display their login info
in the url.  Is there a better way to do this? i would think thered be a
header i can send with the login info but i can't find anything regarding
this on google (other than the method above)...
