I've figured out how to do this in plain Java:
userpass = "myusername:mypassword";
auth = "Basic "
+ new
sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(userpass.getBytes());
URL myUrl = new URL(urlstring);
URLConnection myUrlConnection = myurl.openConnection();
myUrlConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization",
auth);
(Yuk! Why doesn't the JDK support the full HTTP protocol, including
putting this authentication in the URL?)
So how do I create my own portlet (a subclass of WebPagePortlet or of
FileWatchPortlet) that sets the Authorization request before the URL is
read from? I'm worried that if I just put it after the URL( url
).openStream() in getURL() of WebPagePortlet that I might be trying to
authenticate against a cached webpage. Any pointers would be
appreciated.

P.S. Am I the only one trying to open a portlet to a (semi-) secure
site?
