I am curious as to how one "automatically" logs on?
There are several potential methods (depending on the victim's browser): 1) Older versions of Flash allow the spoofing of arbitrary http headers [1] thus allowing the creation of attacker controlled Authorization-headers. 2) Firefox does not display http-authentication warnings if the http request was generated by the browser's link-prefetch mechanism [2]. 3) An anti-DNS-pinning attack [3] can be executed to break the same-origin policy. Then the low-level socket functions of either Flash (all browsers) [4] or Java (Firefox and Opera) [5] could be employed to create arbitrary http requests.
