I believe is client side. I have a server that uses htaccess
authentication and the javascript simply fetches all the information
to fill a form from a php file inside the restricted area. I need to
fill this form only if the user is already authenticated and I am try
to avoid using cookies. The only thing I need is to be able to know if
I am already authenticated on my linux/apache server before trying to
fetch all the info in to the form. Any ideas? Thanks.
