Improving HTTP Authentication

Do you use HTTP Authentication anywhere in your webapplication? Today I discovered something that could also be useful for you.

The plusserver member control panel uses HTTP Authentication, and the errorpage replacement for the HTTP 401 authentication failed page (press cancel on the login) is replaced with a simple form with two elements: username and a button “receive lost password”.

This is the most useful errorpage-replacement i have ever seen yet ;) You could also add a link to a faq for common questions/problems there.
