I don't know about IE, but Netscape allows you to access <a href="http://login:password@www.example.com/path/to/page.html" rel="ugc">http://login:password@www.example.com/path/to/page.html</a><br />
<br />
but this URL will get to your Location bar, which is probably not what you want.<br />
<br />
Possible solution:<br />
1) make login screen you want;<br />
2) get your login/password via your script; check if they are correct (you can not realy on www server for this)<br />
3) generate page stating &quot;you are allowed to get in&quot; with &lt;img src=&quot;http://login:password@your.site.com/protected/dir/img.jpg&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
when user's browser will download image - browser will be told what login/password pair is for this are, so when it will access your documents from this area it will reuse password already known.<br />
<br />
Drawbacks:<br />
1) your user still will be asked for password if he'll follow link _BEFORE_ image will be received;<br />
2) there will be user's logins/passwords in server log 'cos for images browsers uses GET method.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.
