Browser Side Access Authorization Module

Important to know about memory allocation:

Routines in this module use dynamic allocation, but free automatically all the memory reserved by them.

Therefore the caller never has to (and never should) free() any object returned by these functions.

Therefore also all the strings returned by this package are only valid until the next call to the same function is made. This approach is selected, because of the nature of access authorization: no string returned by the package needs to be valid longer than until the next call.

This also makes it easy to plug the AA package in: you don't have to ponder whether to free() something here or is it done somewhere else (because it is always done somewhere else).

The strings that the package needs to store are copied so the original strings given as parameters to AA functions may be freed or modified with no side effects.

Also note: The AA package does not free() anything else than what it has itself allocated.

This module is implemented by HTAABrow.c, and it is a part of the W3C Reference Library.

Routines for Browser Side Recording of AA Info

• HTAA_composeAuth() composes the Authorization: line contents, if the AA package thinks that the given document is protected. Otherwise this function returns NULL. This function also calls the functions HTPrompt(), HTPromptPassword() and HTConfirm() to get the username, password and some confirmation from the user.
• HTAA_shouldRetryWithAuth() determines whether to retry the request with AA or with a new AA (in case username or password was misspelled).

/* BROWSER PUBLIC					HTAA_composeAuth()
**
**	COMPOSE Authorization: HEADER LINE CONTENTS
**	IF WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THE HOST REQUIRES AUTHENTICATION
**
** ON ENTRY:
**	req		request, which contains
**	req->argument	document, that we're trying to access.
**	req->setup	protection setup info on browser.
**	req->scheme	selected authentication scheme.
**	req->realm	for Basic scheme the username and password.
**
** ON EXIT:
**	returns	NO, if no authorization seems to be needed, and
**		req->authorization is NULL.
**		YES, if it has composed Authorization field,
**		in which case the result is in req->authorization,
**		e.g.
**
**		   "Basic AkRDIhEF8sdEgs72F73bfaS=="
