Topic: How can i write the htmlcode to let FireGPG sign message automatically

Thank for the authors of FireGPG.  Your great work inspires an idea in web authentication of mine.

The brief concept is using private/public key to login a web application just like ssh authentication of Linux server.  Before create an account, the user should upload his/her public PGP key into web server.

When the user needs to login web application, he/she must uses private key to sign a message the server offer.  After verify the signed message, the user get the authentication.  You can browse my experimental web application (https://pgpauth.hoamon.info) to get the idea.

My question is:
Was any html code(or javascript) defined by fireGPG to sign a message automatically in any web application(not only Gmail).  In other words, users can only press a button to get two events(sign the message and submit the signed message) in the same time.

If it is not defined, is any possible to create?

It's exist, it's called FireGPG api.

Checkout svn repository and have a look at api_client dir wink
