Basic Authentication

[Vittorio Pavesi]

Hello,
I'm using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to get a web page using an url with basi
c authentication (e.g. http://user:pa******@www.mysite.it).

Microsoft denied basic authentication within Internet Explorer URL (see
KB 834489) so I'm unable to get the page contents.

The client-side workaround is to change some registry settings (see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489), anybody can help me with a
different solution ?

Thanks

Pass the username and password in the .Open method.

yourObject.Open "GET", "http://....", False, "[domain\]username", "password"

Hello Ray,
I tested it but seems that it get only the text, If I've some <img tags,
they are not printed because the images aren't downloaded.
Any suggestion ?

My first guess is that the img tags are just using a relative URL. As soon
as you move the HTML code somewhere else it doesn't work any more. Check the
HTML code to see if this behavior is expected (you can add then a base href
tag to make those relative URL relative to the URL you put there).

Yes, exactly. All it's going to return is the HTML. It's just text.
