Are you saying that you have secured the PHP script on the remote server and it requires authentication first before it will respond to the http request?

I do not know how to do this in ASP or .NET but what I do when I need to post to a site like that is open a socket connection and handle the transaction on the server side. So your VB.NET server talks to the remote PHP-enabled server via a socket connection. A handy tool for this is cURL. Rather than open and control the socket and communication you can use the cURL API's for your particular server platform.

I think thats what the .net code is doing, somewhere beneath the TCP/IP layers in the .net line of code a socket is being created to the remote server...
I just need to figure out how to pass credentials to authenticate when challenged by the server, in any language - PHP, .Net, cURL

The basics are laid out in the text docs on the cURL site:
[curl.haxx.se...]
and searching for something like "curl post login" or variations on that search should turn up some examples you could follow to get started. Wish I could offer more my friend.
