# Introduction

Introduction -- to HTTP based authentication

##

Instead of generating an HTML driven form like PEAR::Auth does, this class sends header commands to the clients which cause them to present a login box like they are e.g. used in Apache's .htaccess mechanism.

Starting with Auth_HTTP 2.1.0, HTTP Digest Authentication (RFC2617) is experimentally supported.
