    Hello all

    Can anyone tell me why the following wont work or point me in the right direction ... basically i want to get into a protected folder

    header("Location: http://user:pass@www.protected.com");

    if i just type http://user:pass@www.protected.com
    in the browser window it works fine but in the header it asks for the user and pass again

    Thanks a million

    Al

    I assume this is PHP, and I assume you're not using the little vB "[url]" tags around the url? :)

    [/url] 
    header("Location: http://user:pass@url.com");

    Should work fine. What happens when you try that?

    Yes php sorry bout that

    yes your code is exactly what ive got except it still pops up the box asking for the username and password. The properties of the page say its the correct page with user and pass in. If i copy and paste straight into the browser it works fine .... any ideas ?

    Thanks

    I just did a quick test there, Opera (6.03) warned me that I'm being redirected to a page with a username/password but it continued and let me in, IE (5.00) went ahead and it worked fine. What browser are you trying it in?

    Nah that won't make any difference.

    Try this page: http://sleepygeek.org/~phaxx/pwdtest.php

    That should redirect you to http://sleepygeek.org/~phaxx/pwdtest with the username and password (testuser, testpass)

    It works perfectly here in Opera and IE, no password dialog box. Does it do the same for you?

    (Yup, I like the Hobbes avatar too. :))
