|Prevent tracking via http basic auth
|Currently a website can track users by setting requests to their resources (advertising) using urls that contain auhtentication attributes. Sites then can use these attributes to track users between sites (and avoid the need to set up cookies or other storage). This project will enhance firefox so that this type of tracking cannot be done and to determine how much this happens in practice. The two goals for this project are: Enhance the collusion add-on to include this type
of tracking and change firefox so that a preference exist so that the only http auth headers that get cached are the ones entered manually by the user.
