Does anyone have any idea how a browser recognizes that a cite is asking for a
credential file, and hands it back to it?
For example, I go to a site, and firefox suddenly says "this sites wants a credential -
is this the credential that you want to give it?" I've used a plugin that shows me http
headers and responses, and see nothing where that happens.
Links? Pointers? Clues for the poor?
What sort of credentials are you talking about? Is this SSL (https) with client
certificate verification? If so it's part of the initial SSL handshake. The server asks
the client to prove that it is who it says it is by supplying a valid, authenticated,
certificate.
