I am trying to set up a URL hyperlink with parameters which automatically forwards and activates the username and password set up by my ISP (Shared Apache Hosting) which uses .htaccess to password control sub-directories.

I basically want the client to be able to download files without being hit with the dialogue password box.

Hope somebody can help!!

Cheers Ray

You can pass the username and password in the URL but be warned that this is a security risk and is not a recommended practice.

You can do this:

<protocol>://<username>:<password>@<host>/

For example:
  https://joeuser@[email protected]=getvalue

Search down to "Server-based Naming Authority"



Take care,

HI
I am not sure
this may work or may not. Convert your password using md5() and pass it through url and counter check at the desitination page.

i hope to hear from u.
