[lwip-devel] [patch #9576] Adding authorization cookie management

[Giuseppe Modugno]

Follow-up Comment #12, patch #9576 (project lwip):

Mike, I'm trying to add an authorization layer as per your idea.

You suggested to send username/password in the query string, maybe encrypted
with an algorithm that produce a different encrypted text.

Suppose the HTTP request is "GET /protected.html" without a query string. You
should redirect the browser to "/login.html" or you should answer with
"/login.html" file content (I suppose login.html is the page with the login
form).

The current httpd server calls fs_open(file, "/protected.html") function that
returns ERR_OK.
It appears to me that httpd_cgi_handler() is not called, because the query
string is absent.

How do you avoid replying with the original content of protected.html without
a valid authentication value?
