[users@httpd] http://login:senha@website.com/ does not works longer?
Hi guys, i´m developing an aplication that uses .htaccess.
But i have noted that newer I.E blocks http://login:senha@website.com/ access...
Anyone knows how can I grant access on protected directories by .htaccess, sending a header or anything that works like http://login:senha@website.com/
I don´t want to use realms (pop-up).
Sorry for my english, and thanks in advanced.

HTTP basic auth is what you were already using; it prompts for a
userid and password, which you don't seem to want.
Assuming you already know how to do sessions, one technique you can
use is to make all your requests go through a php page, and then
generate an internal redirect to the wmv file by outputing a
"Location: /path/to/file.wmv" http response header. I've never tried
this myself in php, but it should work.

Could I be succesfull to protect .WMV files using session, cookies or http
basic auth to grant access?
I´m looking for ways to authenticate, but i don´t found any material with
concrete examples with a integration of htaccess + php.
Actually, i have protected "pages" with session +mysql techniques, but using
.htaccess not.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks

No. As far as I know, this is impossible. And it didn't work
consistently before either (although it probably worked on the most
popular browsers).
Either you let the browser prompt for the password, or you give up
http basic auth and use cookies or other session-management
techniques.
