I see what you mean now about HTTP (sorry about that :P ).

Frankly I have avoided the whole authentication issue by only exposing publicly available (in the company) data and making it query only. I couldn't use SSL in my projects (for various political reasons) and my scheme was the path of least resistance.

Until there is a standard I guess it boils down to your own environment. In my case, packing it inside the envelope will have to be the way to go. Plus our security policy (at work) is to encrypt everything, SSL or otherwise.

I do wonder, however, whether you have considered using some form of digest mechanism in your method? Do you think this is worthwhile?

Thanks for your feedback :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
