I've prepared proof-of-concept of an alternate solution that reuses  
existing HTTP authentication:

http://geekhood.net/auth/

In essence this works by translating HTML form into URL in format  
http://user:pass@example.com (it can be done using JS or HTTP redirect.  
Ideally, this would be done by the browser based on <form> attribute or  
such).
