parse http user and password

parse http user and password in php's fopen

[copongcopong]

in msie you can type http://user:[e-mail] ....

using php's "fopen" this would surely not work, my question is if it possible to automatically send the user and password to a url that ask for http authentication?

Thanks for any information on this.

I'm pretty sure I've used:

fopen("http://username:password...

in the past with no problems - are you getting an error?

[copongcopong]

maybe it is webserver dependent..., are you using IIS (microsoft) or Apache? I have Apache at my end.

i even tried it in mozilla and it does not allow the user and password to be added in the url.

Thanks.

I just tried it again - works fine on Apache 1.3x
