rfc2617 (along with rfc2616) covers HTTP Authentication for the Basic and Digest Access authentication schemes. You can read them at <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt > and <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt>.

Basic is trivial to implement- Digest Access is not. Also, there are a lot of servers which don't use Basic or Digest Access authentication (most use NTLM or Negotiate) and those authentication schemes are not well documented. CFNetwork's CFHTTPAuthentication code handles Basic, Digest, NTLM and Negotiate for you.

Hi,
Because of bugs in the URL Manager on older systems, I needed to hand
craft my own HTTP GET and POST code which is fine and works ok. But I was
wondering if anybody knew or where to look on what a HTTP server needs when
it requests the username/password dialog when you access a page which is
protected this way ?


Any idea how this might work, hoping I just add these into my request or is
that too simplistic :-).


Thanks in advance for any pointers

Mark.
