I want to set the Authorization header to Base64(username:password). I am tyring to retrieve a Web file from a secure resource but getting a 401 access denied even though when I enter the URL directly into the browser I get straight in using the following syntax:
http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] There are several special characters in the password which I think may be stuffing things up. The server is running IIS 5 so I am guessing that CFHTTP does not set the Authorization header but that IE does. I found out about the Base64 stuff in the following VB article: http://www.vbip.com/winsock/winsock_http_04_01.asp Thoughts anyone? P.S. I have tried <cfhttp url="my.example.com" username="username" password="password"> >>> "Paul Johnston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/20/03 12:12pm >>> > FYI, CFHTTP allows you to rewrite the user agent value. > If you want to create something more complex (ie spoofing a > request so it looks like it came from IE) use something else, > like a custom tag. I'm sure there's a CFX_HTTP around somewhere. Okay... Bad example... But you know what I mean. Adam, what did you want to do?
