Vincent Quint scripsit: > Thanks to Ed, a new version of the draft finding "Passwords in the Clear" > is available at: > > http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/passwordsInTheClear-52-20061113.html > http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/passwordsInTheClear-52 This draft mentions HTTP basic authentication only obliquely; it should make it clear that using it is an instance of passwords-in-the-clear. IMHO the draft is too strongly worded; there are cases where simple password protection is ample. Please see http://recycledknowledge.blogspot.com/2005/08/on-not-using-more-security-than-you.html for my views on the subject. -- You let them out again, Old Man Willow!
