Form HTTP post to password protected directory

The action URL to my form is a page that is password protected
(standard password protected directory).

What would I need to do to authenticate? I've tried

action='http://username:pa**** **@url.com/passworddirecto ry/'

but that doesn't work.

Thanks,

Max.

What OS are you using?

AFAIK, WinXP SP2 prevents "username:passw ord@" usage.

The web server doing the post is win 2000, and there is also a win 2003
server available.

That method wouldnt work for me anyway because the username has @
character in it.

Is there some way to do this with ASP or ASP.net by posting http
variables? maybe through input type hidden or something else?

Thanks,
Max.

Something just occurred to me... <yeah, I know, it scared me too> I just password-protected a website by including a password authentication script in each page of a private section. The script checks the login against the mySQL database. This type of protection will only affect the .php pages, won't it? The images that are contained in the pages are not protected, as they would be if I had a .htaccess file on the parent directory..? This...

I'm looking for a way to force basic http autentication from within a PHP script. Here's the situation: I have an exisiting system that first authenticates people via the aMemberPro package.

When the IE6 update came out, this syntax no...

I have a form in my database that is password protected, and several forms contain buttons that open the password protected page. Each button asks for the password, but I dont want access to ask the user for the password if the form that is protected is already open. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Dan

I am having trouble figuring out to call a database INSERT procedure from a simple submit form. It appears I should use the onclick event to trigger the procedure called BUT when I do this I receive this error: 'btnInsert_Click' is not a member of 'ASP.Insert_aspx'. I realise the procedure is houwsed in a sub which may be what is causing the problem, but I am stumped on how to connect the form to the .NET

I can not figure out what is the problem that I can protect ASP.NEt form resource but not some other type of files, for example, images. All my aspx forms located in Demo folder and image files located in a subfolder of Demo, named images. I implement Role based form authentication. When I access all aps forms, it works fine and ask me user/password. However, I can use IE browser to directly access any image file in subfolder images. My...

Hi all, I'm trying to post multipart/form-data to a web page but seem to have run into a wall. I'm familiar with RFC 1867 and have done this before (with AOLServer and Tcl) but just can't seem to get it to work in Visual Basic. I tried coding it once myself from scratch and then modified a class that I found on a newsgroup (referenced below). Both seem to be doing the same thing and neither works (or rather, they seem to work but the...
