Problem with External-graphic and authentication

Hi

I have switched to tomcat 5 and am using basic authentication.  I was
able to display an image using the external-graphic fo and tomcat 4.1
also with authentication.  I can see the image when I type the url in
directly and then login.  Is there a way to include the authentication
data in the url or do I have to sacrifice the authentication?

Frank

Never mind.  I've created a subdirectory of webapps named images with no
authentication required.

Thanks very much for your reply.  Is there a way with tomcat to restrict
access to the image to localhost?

You can restrict access to the image to localhost, or some
similar tricks.
