nsIAuthInformation in Firefox 3.0

 A object that hold authentication information. The caller of
 nsIAuthPrompt2::promptUsernameAndPassword or
 nsIAuthPrompt2::promptPasswordAsync provides an object implementing this
 interface; the prompt implementation can then read the values here to prefill
 the dialog. After the user entered the authentication information, it should
 set the attributes of this object to indicate to the caller what was entered
 by the user.

Constants

 @name Flags */

 This dialog belongs to a network host.

const PRUint32 AUTH_HOST = 1

 This dialog belongs to a proxy.

const PRUint32 AUTH_PROXY = 2

 This dialog needs domain information. The user interface should show a
 domain field, prefilled with the domain attribute's value.

const PRUint32 NEED_DOMAIN = 4

 This dialog only asks for password information. Authentication prompts
 SHOULD NOT show a username field. Attempts to change the username field
 will have no effect. nsIAuthPrompt2 implementations should, however, show
 its initial value to the user in some form. For example, a paragraph in
 the dialog might say "Please enter your password for user jsmith at
 server intranet".

 This flag is mutually exclusive with #NEED_DOMAIN.

const PRUint32 ONLY_PASSWORD = 8

Attributes

 The authentication scheme used for this request, if applicable. If the
 protocol for this authentication does not support schemes, this will be
 the empty string. Otherwise, this will be a string such as "basic" or 
 "digest". This string will always be in lowercase.

readonly attribute AUTF8String authenticationScheme

 The initial value should be used to prefill the dialog or be shown
 in some other way to the user.
 On return, this parameter should contain the domain entered by
 the user.
 This attribute is only used if flags include #NEED_DOMAIN.

attribute AString domain

 Flags describing this dialog. A bitwise OR of the flag values
 above.

 It is possible that neither #AUTH_HOST nor #AUTH_PROXY are set.

 Auth prompts should ignore flags they don't understand; especially, they
 should not throw an exception because of an unsupported flag.

readonly attribute unsigned long flags

 The initial value should be used to prefill the dialog or be shown
 in some other way to the user.
 The password should not be shown in clear.
 On return, this parameter should contain the password entered by
 the user.

attribute AString password

 The server-supplied realm of the authentication as defined in RFC 2617.
 Can be the empty string if the protocol does not support realms.
 Otherwise, this is a human-readable string like "Secret files".

readonly attribute AString realm

 The initial value should be used to prefill the dialog or be shown
 in some other way to the user.
 On return, this parameter should contain the username entered by
 the user.
 This field can only be changed if the #ONLY_PASSWORD flag is not set.

attribute AString username
