hi

I am having problems accessing a password protected web page using the curl
library.

Using curl executable : I can access the page fine by the following command:
                     curl http://mywebpage.com/cgi-bin/myfile.html -u
login:password

But when I write my own program, it returns the message "Authorization
required......".
My function call is as follows:

 res = curl_urlget(
           URGTAG_FILE, stderr,
           URGTAG_URL, "http://mywebpage.com/cgi-bin/myfile.html",
           URGTAG_WRITEFUNCTION, resultHandler,
           URGTAG_ERRORBUFFER, errorbuffer,
           URGTAG_TIMEOUT, ltimeout,
           URGTAG_FLAGS, CONF_DEFAULT,
           URGTAG_USERPWD, "login:password",
           URGTAG_DONE);

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanx
Ashraf
