28 * @class KIO::AuthInfo authinfo.h <KIO/AuthInfo>
29 *
30 * This class is intended to make it easier to prompt for, cache
31 * and retrieve authorization information.
32 *
33 * When using this class to cache, retrieve or prompt authentication
34 * information, you only need to set the necessary attributes. For
35 * example, to check whether a password is already cached, the only
36 * required information is the URL of the resource and optionally
37 * whether or not a path match should be performed. Similarly, to
38 * prompt for password you only need to optionally set the prompt,
39 * username (if already supplied), comment and commentLabel fields.
40 *
41 * <em>SPECIAL NOTE:</em> If you extend this class to add additional
42 * parameters do not forget to overload the stream insertion and
43 * extraction operators ("<<" and ">>") so that the added data can
44 * be correctly serialized.
45 *
46 * @short A two way messaging class for passing authentication information.
