Right, I've been searching around for a while and have been unable to find an answer to this.

A client has requested a dropship system, using a supplier's XML feed - unfortunatley this feed requires authentication before use.

Now, I don't want to use the URL system, like [username:user@example.com...] because it's not encrypted - but through searching it's the only solution I could find.

Just wondering if anyone here could offer a more secure alternative please?

What alternatives do they offer? Secure FTP?

Not sure - I ended up just using cURL to authenticate.
