If you are attempting to connect to a site that uses HTTP Authentication
(that popup window), I *THINK* you can use:
username:password@http://whatever.com
If you need to get to/through a web-page with a FORM in it, dig out Rasmus'
posttohost() function and use that to send the username/password to the
login URL, and then see what you get back from that page that makes you a
"valid" user from then on.
You may need to re-present an ID or something as part of each GET/POST from
then on.
This kind of stuff *can* be done, but it's usually quite a headache the
first time to figure out what has to go between the servers.
Oh. If it's an https:// connection, you need to use cURL.
