 nsIHttpAuthManager

 This service provides access to cached HTTP authentication 
 user credentials (domain, username, password) for sites
 visited during the current browser session.

 This interface exists to provide other HTTP stacks with the
 ability to share HTTP authentication credentials with Necko.
 This is currently used by the Java plugin (version 1.5 and
 higher) to avoid duplicate authentication prompts when the
 Java client fetches content from a HTTP site that the user
 has already logged into.
