No, Martin really meant "not possible": once basic auth is started, the browser prompts for username and password and you are in basic-auth land thereafter; the web server has *no way* to tell the browser to *stop* using basic auth. > imagine that only "ultra geeks" know their URIs (I have no idea what the > URI for a Google account is). But, I don't see this as being worthwhile Well, my OpenId is 'david.bitdance.com', so even if you could get around the basic auth problem, looking for "http://"; wouldn't work. -- R.
