[Phpwm] .htaccess auth question

[pete graham]

Hi Wayne (and others),

The application that will be doing the posting is an Intranet
application. There is a database that contains information about each
of our projects (the sites our company is develops). The development
site for each project has password protection. Most projects also have
a developer tool site, a producer tool site and sometimes a Trac site,
these all have separate password protection (we work with a lot of
freelancers thats why the password protection needs to be fine
grained). If you work on say 6 different projects in a day it can get
pretty annoying having to retype your password all the time.

Yes the browser could handle this but I'd prefer to handle it with the
application if possible, I don't see the point in validating people
more than once. Also the server password projection mechanisms could
be changed but I don't want to mess about with systems already in
place and cause myself extra work.

Zend Framework's Http_Client sounds interesting as the app is using ZF
anyway, although I am open to other suggestions.

Thanks, Pete
