When using the url format you are sending username and password in plain text format (un-encrypted). The special dialogbox to enter your username/password is there to send you password encrypted over the internet. Probably your webserver refuses un-encrypted passwords, which is a good thing. I'm not aware of a technique to workaround this... I think that just the point of not beeing able to do this for security reasons.

(These are NOT sites I or we have designed) It's the generic one See a screen dump at http://tripledee.com.au/accessd/Generic_Logon.jpg Anyway...my question is this I can pass credentials to an ftp session by doing something like this ftp://UserName:Password@someServer.com.au Cool When I try the same syntax using http://UserName:Password@someServer.com.au In an attempt to bypass the screen in the screen dump it fails. Does anyone know a way to do it?
