Detailed Description

HTTP Authentication table.

HTTP server protects specified directories from unauthorized access. Directories that are not registered in this table are accessible by anyone. The last table element must have all fields set to zero as the end-of-table mark.

With HTTP authentication, the following things occur:

1. A client requests access to a protected resource.
2. The web server returns a dialog box that requests the user name and password.
3. The client submits the user name and password to the server.
4. The server validates the credentials and, if successful, returns the requested resource.
