I have a private area in a website that I protected using HTTP authentication. That is, I password-protected a directory and its files.
<p>
However, I did not realize that since the pages in that directory call scripts from /cgi-bin (which anyone can access), that those pages are not really that secure.
<p>
Which raises the question, for which situations are cookies a better choice than HTTP authentication and viceversa.
<p>
Thanks in advance.
