Abstract:
   This document specifies a few extensions of HTTP authentication
   framework for interactive clients.  Recently, fundamental features of
   HTTP-level authentication is not enough for complex requirements of
   various Web-based applications.  This makes these applications to
   implement their own authentication frameworks using HTML Forms and
   other means, which becomes one of the hurdles against introducing
   secure authentication mechanisms handled jointly by servers and user-
   agent clients.  The extended framework fills gaps between Web
   application requirements and HTTP authentication provisions to solve
   the above problems, while maintaining compatibility against existing
   Web and non-Web uses of HTTP authentications.
