including file that resides on server that requires authentication

[Orit]

I am trying to include html file that resides on other server than the
main .php file (landing.php), while this server requires user
name-password authentication. I tried 2 options while trying:
<?
if ($page=="24") {
include ("http://10.11.0.251/support/index.html");
}
else {
include ("http://10.11.0.251/support/faq.html");
}
?>

replies me, in the place where the included content suppose to be, the
warnings:

Warning: main(http://10.11.0.251/support/faq.html): failed to open
stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required in
/www/landing.php on line 242

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'http://10.11.0.251/support/faq.html'
for inclusion (include_path='.:/home/httpd:/usr/share/php') in
/www/landing.php on line 242

and when trying the following:

<?
if ($page=="24") {
@include("http://10.11.0.251/suppport/csb.html");
}
else {
@include("http://10.11.0.251/suppport/csb.html");
}
?>

it replies nothing just like ignore the inclusion, the rest of the
page is diplayed OK, while in the place where the included content
suppose to be - it is empty.

summarizing, non of the ways works.
can someone please help me: what is the right way for including pages
from remote protected server?

Thanks a lot

Just guessing, but could you put the username and password into the uri as
in: http://username:pa******@www.whateve...e/whatever.php ?

Like I say, just guessing...

Hope that helps,
