>Now why would you want to do that ? I want to connect applications: one is running on Tomcat (Java/Struts) with another (php).
I have an application running on Tomcat that has a link to other application which is on another server. Application on another server is protected with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication I want to pass credentials after link is clicked, so I don't need to fill the username and password informations. I see that I might need to add row: "Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==" in the request header. Is this possible to do? How?
