ah. well, I obviously have a very poor sense of aesthetics (look at my webpage- it would have been ugly in 1995) but thanks, that answers my question. (my question is "why don't people use http auth anymore?)

I really like http auth because it's a system level solution, and I'm the computer janitor; I know where the problems with http auth are without wondering if the dev who wrote the webapp made a mistake or not.
