HTTP Authentication

[cbk1994]

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

PHP Code:

user:pass@host.com 


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" );
