I don't know where you're getting the "MD5" thing from. This is not used
in
HTTP's "Basic Authentication". The user/password info supplied in a
response
to a 401 is just "<user>:<password>" then Base64 encoded. You could
surely
supply a similar string in the URL itself, or better still, a session
"cookie"
(not really a cookie, but used for the same purpose), then decide
whether the
user has access to a particular resource based on that.

Just a thought
