Background RIght now as a WWW publisher i cannot program my website to say that only authenticated users can view my website and anonymous users with just IP address and location information should not be able to view my website Pradeep Kumar Xplorer Expires Jan 21, 2019 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Need http user information from clients Jul 21, 2018 3. General Information of the service Right now to hide sensitive or subscription based information i have to implement username password restrictions in the website code i am publishing.I should be able to say that only a HTTP client request that has in addition to location and IP address some User information should be served information from my website. This user information can be queried using a service similar to whois domainname.com to find out what is publicly available about the browser of information.Right now a user from say Newyork can login to my website in Utah Create fake user name and passwords and access information for free or for a usage fee. If i dont have username password subscription services and all my information is available for free, then the only guaranteed information i have about the user is IP address and location information. 4.Authors' Addresses Pradeep Kumar Xplorer EMail: pradeepan88@hotmail.com, pradeep@explodingmoon.org URI: http://www.pradeepkumarxplorer.com 5.Acknowledgement Pradeep Kumar Xplorer Expires Jan 21, 2019 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Need for http user information from clients Jul 21, 2018
