web site authentication

 [1/5] from: gchiu::compkarori::co::nz at: 2-Dec-2000 11:36


Some sites you access bring up an authentication dialog where you have to enter your network username and password. Where does this come from? How can I enter the values using Rebol? -- Graham Chiu

Hi Graham The standard full URL for http and ftp is (using http as an example) http://user-name:[password--domain]:port-number/path If you have "funny" characters in your password or username, you may need to set up the 'scheme object instead of the simple URL above. REBOL only does BASIC authentication, it does not handle the more advanced encrypted authentication. HTH -Larry

Hi Larry, I tried that out on the site I wanted to access, and it did not work. However, by putting this in the headers sent to the site Authorization: join {Basic } enbase rejoin [ username ":" password ] I've managed to get authenticated. -- Graham Chiu
