Re[2]: how do I keep a browser from caching files
Jeff brings up an interesting point.
There seems to be a pretty even distribution between sites that use passwords in
forms vs. HTTP authentication passwords. Assuming that you are using SSL and a
scheme where the password must travel from the browser to the server, what are
the pros and cons of each approach, and what should one pay special attention to
with each. Are there any sites of FAQ's that go into this discussion?
When using SSL, is form data sorted in the fat.db? If so, is it encrypted? I
only found http references in the file, not https?

Only passwords that were entered into HTML forms were getting put into the
fat.db file. HTTP authentication passwords are never written to disk.
