CF to authenticate against Linux HTACCESS

[Gakusei]

I have a page that we want to link to other webservers.

Some of these webservers (Linux) have implemented security via HTACCESS. We
have the usernames/passwords in a db table, and would like to pass these
credentials along to the destination site.

How do I do this? Is there a CF tag that will accomplish this? (I've attempted
CFHTTP, and it gets me to the page, but then all the graphics call up the login
box...) Is there a CFC that would accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

If the authenication type is DIGEST then neither CFHTTP nor any other built
language component will work with it.

CFHTTP and CFINVOKE will work against target URIs protected by BASIC
authentication when using the username/password tag attributes.

do you have an example of the syntax I would use? I want to be able to have a
link on my page launch a new window and go to a page on the remote server...
but I want the user to then be able to click on links on the remote page to
"surf" their site... so I'm not sure if CFHTTP would do the trick...

Thanks again in advance,

For HTTP operations such as GET/POST/HEAD to target URIs where the URI is
protected by BASIC Authentication (not DIGEST/NTLM), then the CFHTTP tag can be
used with the username=/password= attributes.

If you under Windows, this tag can be used instead of CFHTTP with any authentication supported under Windows:
