PHP as a proxy to an htaccess protected site. (STILL UNRESOLVED)

Hi people, Iam trying to make a script that you give it the login and password for a determined password protected site, and it logs you in. It will be like a proxy. So, what I have is something like this: <? $fp = fopen ("http:// $login:$password@domain.net/protected_area/index.html", "r"); while (!feof ($fp)) { $buffer = fgets($fp, 4096); echo $buffer; } fclose ($fp); ?> So now.. here I have two problems: 1.) If the user enters a login/pass that is not the correct this appears on the screen hundreds of times: "Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource .." 2.) /protected_area/index.html is a frame site, which means that if the pass/login are ok it will show you only the index.html, but this is made of frames, so then I have another login prompt for the frames. My question is, is there anyway I can fix problem 1, and in problem 2 is there anyway to proxy this in a better way, where you input the login once and it stay there so i dont get any more login prompts? Thank You.
