Accessing Http authentication protected URls via HTML Generator
Hi!
I'm extracting some information from another webapplication and render it as part of my cocoon based portal.
I do this using the html generator to retrieve the xhtml from the 3rd party webapplication and use xslt stylesheet to extract the information
I need. While this generally works quite well, I get some problems, when the 3rd party URL is protected via HTTP authenticiation.
To my understanding, technically everything should work, when i add a Authorization HTTP-Header (e.g. "Authorization: Basic
7234jhdfhjasfhjsd") to the request of the 3rd party URL. I even would consider hardcoding this information. I already browsed the html-
generator sources, but I cant't find a simple way to achieve this...
Anybody any hints ?

If you're using BASIC authentication, you may try using the syntax:
http://username:password@www.yoururl.com
Also, you should look into the WebServiceProxyGenerator (if you're using 2.1
or
can wait until it's ported to 2.0.4 Search for WebServiceProxyGenerator in
the
archives, or search for emails from/to dabbous@saxess.com
