Hi Pete,
you have to pass required parameters like this :
String userPassword = "youruser" + ":" + "yourpass";
String encoding = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode (userPassword.getBytes());
URLConnection connection;
URL url = new URL ("http://your.url.that.requires.authorization.com");
connection = url.openConnection ();
connection.setDoOutput (true);
connection.setAllowUserInteraction (true);
connection.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding);
and so on.... depending what you want to do.
Regards,
Ivo.
