hi,
IIS 5 and 6, IE 5 and 6, simple authentication
does the browser send the username and password in clear text on every
request after been authenticated?

¤ i meant basic not simple :(
¤ "with any authentication protocol the browser needs to send something
¤ back to the server to identifit itself after it's authenticated"

¤ what is IE sending - is it the username and pass or some other proove
¤ this is the same client?

It has to send an authentication header (which is cached by the browser after initial
authentication) each time if the web server responds with an authentication request.
