it's an interesting way of doing authentication,
but what does it buy you over lets say, having the user sign-in via the
iappli itself, and then sending that user name over to the server each time
? or maybe i am just missing something.
OR I guess i don't understand what u mean by signing in via a "basic
authentication"
