Hi all,

I've been considering an idea for an RFC proposal to the Internet
Engineering Task Force.  In a nutshell, the idea revolves around
providing Basic Auth authentication credentials using a login
interface similar to sites that just use cookies.

It's convenient to supply a username and password before "submitting,"
or clicking the login button, but cookie-based authentication just
sucks compared to BasicAuth+SSL.

I'm now in a position where I'm trying to help the organizers of
Toronto Startup Weekend but am faced with problems reminiscent of
those with my former employer.

Obviously an RFC submission won't be processed in anywhere near the
time that I need it, but I'd still like to pursue the matter.

If there's anyone out there who's been involved with an IETF RFC
submission, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks!
- Scott.
