i have an apache server at home on which i run a small website.
in the httpd.conf i have set some authentication requirements on specific directory's

what i wanna do now is to make a script and put it in my bashrc or dtprofile ... so after i login to the GUI or shell with my user/pass the script will be triggered to send my credentials to the server (a cookie or token) so that when i open my password protected directory it wont asked me for user/pass but it will act as if i already provided them

and when i log off the server another script should be launched and remove that token or cookie ... ?

any idea on how to do something like this or what/where exactly to search

can someone give me a small tip please?

ok,
maybe i wasnt clear
im talking about the Basic Authentication mechanism
and as explained in the wiki page: Basic access authentication
A client may pre-emptively send the authentication header in its first request, with no user interaction required.
i wanna know how can i make my firefox do that?

ok, im a small step further ...
i found this nice library Apache::AutoLogin - Automatic login module based on encrypted cookies for sites using basic authentication.

all i need now is to test it
