Re: fsockopen with auth

Hi Ryan, Thanks for your input. I tried it but it didn't work. Do I need a colon ( : ) after the word "Basic" ? Do I need to base64_encode both the username and password or just the password? Any other suggestions? thanks, bill Ryan J Nichols wrote: > in the httpd headers send Authentication: Basic <string> > where string is 'username:password' base64 encoded > > so something like > $fp = fsockopen("www.yahoo.com", 80); > fputs ($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.yahoo.com\r\nAuthentication: Basic > ".base64_encode("username:password")."\r\n\r\n"); > > hope this helps > > -r > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "bill" <bill@billtron.com> > To: <php-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 3:18 PM > Subject: [PHP] fsockopen with auth > > > How can I use fsockopen() with apache auth? > > > > From my browser, I can type > > > > http://name:password@www.mydomain.com > > > > and it will allow me into password protected directories. > > > > How can I do the equivalent using fsockopen? > > > > thanks, > > > > bill > > > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
