I realize that the Kobo beta web browser is a barebones thing and doesn't do popup windows, but as many people have discovered here who password protect their Calibre library, because of this, the Kobo browser never prompts for the username and password.
The best solution offered so far is to either disable authorization or use this URL:
http://username:password@myserver.com:8881/mobile
However, that puts my username and password in the clear for any wifi sniffer or network analyzer, never mind anybody picking up my Kobo and seeing the info in the URL field. Even if I'm mistaken about the security issues, is there a way to configure the Calibre server to offer a login page instead of a login popup window? If not, how do I go about requesting such a feature? Thanks.
