I’m wondering if I can build a flash login form that will access an .htaccess protected area?
I have a rough draft working where I’m using this protocol:
https://username:password@myprotectedsite.com/page.php
However, on a mac, in safari, it seems a bit buggy. The form works, and via a getURL will open the protected page. However, the username and password appear plain as day in the activity window (because I’m using getURL I’m sure) - then if I logout of that protected section, then go back to my form and hit submit, it open the browswer to the page, but actually pastes the url into the url window - that can’t be good! I’ve also read that some people can’t get it to work on IE.
Any knowledge of this?
Whats the best way to do this - possible php gateway and use loadvars to pass to php when then accesses the page? if so how?
Thanks!
