Abstract:
This document specifies a few extensions of HTTP authentication
framework for interactive clients. Recently, fundamental features of
HTTP-level authentication is not enough for complex requirements of
various Web-based applications. This makes these applications to
implement their own authentication frameworks using HTML Forms and
other means, which becomes one of the hurdles against introducing
secure authentication mechanisms handled jointly by servers and user-
agent clients. The extended framework fills gaps between Web
application requirements and HTTP authentication provisions to solve
the above problems, while maintaining compatibility against existing
Web and non-Web uses of HTTP authentications.
