hi

using lwp i'm trying to validate some pages on a remote server with the w3c 
vaidation service, bascially just scanning for the "No errors" string.

this is not a problem in itself - at least it seem to work correctly.

but now i want to validate some pages that reside in dirs that are proteced 
(basic authentication). can this be done ?

i know for a fact that i can request those proteced pages directly (i.e. not 
thru w3c) so i know that the credentials are correct.

$browser->credentials(
 'rotected.site:80',
 'megaprotected',
 'me' => 'pw',
);

i guess the problem is that when i request the pages via w3c which then 
request the proteced page, the credentials get lost somewhere, so my question 
is if i can give the credentials to the w3c request ?

so
a) can it be done?
b) is it securitywise?

thanks
