Calling webscript with no Basic authentication

My case was that I need to invoke web script without triggering the HTTP basic authenticator, 1 week of reading the wiki and googling, I almost accept that web script requires HTTP basic authentication.
But thanks to the answer on my alfresco post, there are 3 ways of authentication for web script.

  1. /alfresco/service or /alfresco/s (mapped to HTTP Basic Authenticator)
  2. /alfresco/wcservice or /alfresco/wcs (mapped to Web Client Authenticator)
  3. /alfresco/168service or /alfresco/168s (mapped to JSR-68 Authenticator)

I could use /alfresco/wcs to invoke my web script from my dashlet without popping up the authentication dialog box and it opens up the possibilities for me integrating other applications :)
