Abstract
On the World Wide Web, a rich ecosystem of authentication options has been developed to support access control for HTTP resources. However, non-interactive usage of HTTP remains limited to the simple authentication mechanisms defined in the HTTP standards. This specification allows non-interactive HTTP contexts to open a browser- like authentication context when necessary, and close it when authentication is complete.
