A perl script could take the information submitted in the form and give the user access.
$password = password from form
$user = username submitted to form
print "Location: http://$user:[email protected]/protected_dir";
Only problem: because this would put the password in the URL, it would be cached, and is thus not secure.

Everyone here has a website. It's just that not all are worth posting (Mine!

Rickjb: I thought that style of logging in was only for FTP sites only?

There are a ton of good password programs out there.

Orpheas,
That method works with .htaccess protected directories too, just make sure that it's http:// and not ftp://
