HTTP Authentication
 

It would be great if Graal would allow you to request websites with some kind of authentication.

I'm trying to communicate with a web site to post something, but it needs authentication.

Go to Wikipedia, and search "Basic access authentication"; this is what I need.

Is it possible to do this already?

Normally, I could do this by typing

Yet this doesn't work on Graal (even after base64encoding user:pass)

Doesn't work with either requesthttp or requesturl.

EDIT: I need to do something like this:

requesthttp( "user:[email protected]", 80, "update.xml?post=blah" );

It's working with TSocket. It can be enabled if you give me server name and port, and graal server name of course.

O.o erm? Well, we've waited since February to get Socket support on Symphonia.. Could we get it aswell?

We've sent several tickets and they all said they would pass it over to you.. (All info about ports, usage etc is in the ticket)

That would be great, except that I plan to release it in the code gallery, so it would have to work for all servers.

I ended up using a PHP file location on a web server to get around it.

TwitterBot? :D

^^

Still waiting for a reply to the ticket, we need to know which hosts and ports to allow (for TSocket.connect).
