It's a less than documented feature, but it does work if you need it. Observe the difference between: llHTTPRequest("http://thordain.com/authtest";, [], ""); and llHTTPRequest("http://authuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/authtest", [], ""); The first results in a HTTP 401 while the later works as intended. That being said, even if llHTTPRequest did not support basic auth, that would not necessarily preclude you from designing your own authentication measures that operate within the features availible to you.
