Thanks for the note. It prompted me to try a simpler solution than trying to mimic the full browser set of headers.
I just tried adding only the following:

set the httpheaders to "Authorization: Basic cm90b3Bhc3MyOjUzcHJpbmNlNDY="

and it worked for the web page as html.
This will get me where I need to go for the immediate future, but I would like to figure out how to use a page link to download a text file.

In this instance,
   
http://www.baseballhq.com/members/tools/projections/proj.php?lg=A&p=B&t=PY&ids=1&f=csv
which normally would trigger the browser to offer the 'save as' dialog.
Perhaps using Apple/VBScript to control the browser as a workaround.

Thanks for the late-night Friday help.

Question      What am I missing?
I set the libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders == those used by the actual browser but get a blank page.

To set custom headers, just use the httpHeaders property.

 set the httpHeaders to "SomeHeader: someValue"

(libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders is really for setting the entire request, including the initial request line. Generally, it's not needed.)

But if it is just the authorization header that needs to be set, then it should get set automatically if you include the name and password in the url as in your example.
