Access to page with web authentication

[cjdunkerley]

Hi,

I want to automatically access the data on a web page that is protected by
basic web authentication.

I have tried <cfinvoke> with a password and username but I don't know what to
use as the method... what is a method?

I have also tried CFhttp with username and password but it just returns an
error.

My username and password work fine when I enter them manually.

Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Chris.


<cfhttp method="post" url="#xmlPath#" charset="iso-8859-1">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="username" value="removed">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="password" value="removed">
</cfhttp>

The http basic auth popup box isn't a form, so your method of passing the
username and password is incorrect.

<cfhttp method="post" url="#xmlPath#" charset="iso-8859-1" username="blah"
password="blah" />

Thanks for the reply. I realise the mistake now... however I am still getting
errors and beleive it is something to do with this:

So the data provider is now looking at securig the data in another way.
