RSA is useless for WEB.  An eavesdropper acquire server public key,  client
public key, encrypted password, take a dictionary of passwords, encrypt
every possible passowd and compare result.  There is only one encription
needed to check one password from a dictionary or 30^6 checks to test all up
to 6 character passwords.
There is  RFC 2945 - The SRP Authentication and Key Exchange System .

RSA encryption will give a false sense of security to web programmers.
