I agree. The ideal would be to provide a realm, a title of some sort, and
a list of prompts to take in values. "Basic" would then default to the
prompts of username and password with a title "Basic authentication" or
some such. The ability to configure some realms in the system as going
thru CGI and others being done more efficiently would also be good.
