Hi,

I noticed Basic/Digest authentication is not supported in libcurl. There are 
some older posts about this on the mailing list. There is this patch from long 
ago:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.library/32043

I applied this to the 7.38 sources and recompiled. It works like a charm. I can 
now successfully request video and metadata from the Axis IP cameras.

This e-mail to plead for inclusion of this fix in the library itself.  With 
authentication-support libcurl is much nicer than live555, and simpler than 
gstreamer,  for use with IP video cameras. Without, it is not useable. Why has 
it never been integrated?

Regards,

Erik
