That's a pretty strong statement, but I think I understand what you're
saying. Is your point that implementing HTTP Authentication is more secure
in terms of access control? I agree with that, since your own
implementation could have flaws in that regard.

I think saying HTTP Authentication is more secure is a bit misleading,
because many of us start assuming all sorts of things. :-)
