i need to pass a user id & password from a form, to a script that access a secure site and with the id and password, i know i could do it like this

http://idassword@domain.com

however this poses a security risk as the id and password are contained within the url. if anyone know of a way to pass the values to the server other than disclosing them in the url i would be gratful.
