HttpRequestLogin

This function makes the user's browser show a 'basic authentication' login box. The result of the login is handled automatically by the server. If the user has not logged in satisfactorily, you should just call the httpRequestLogin function again.

This function works by setting a header ('Authentication') and a return code (403 - Authentication required). As such, nothing happens until you finish the page. The content of the page is generally not displayed unless the login fails.

Syntax

bool httpRequestLogin ( )

Returns

Returns true if the relevant headers and return codes have been set, false otherwise.
