Thanks to both of your for the responses. I think I am still kind of stuck. One set of menu items as far as I can tell REQUIRES basic authentication. These are Oracle PL/SQl procedures which run on the Apache server with mod_plsql.

The other set of menu items are Oracle WebForms which require the loginid and password be passed via the url (post hides the details).

The maddening thing is that the userid and passwords are the same between the two products, if only I could either preload the browser for the basic auth items or read the values after basic auth so I can pass them to the url based authenticated items. I was hoping a perl based menu would allow this.

So my dilemma remains that I cannot replace the authentication with a proxy web server since I can't control the basic authentication requiring items as far as I can tell.

Thanks again for your responses. -quinn
