"my bad" Authorization: Basic <base 64 encoded string> (not authentication) encode the string "username:password", this means if your login is 'foo' and your pass is 'bar' you encode the string 'foo:bar' rfc 2617 covers http authentication (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt) hope this helps, sorry for the mixup =) -r ----- Original Message ----- From: "bill" <bill@billtron.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net>; "Ryan J Nichols" <ryan@globali.net> Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 4:21 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] fsockopen with auth > Hi Ryan, > > Thanks for your input.
