  Subject: Retrieving XML file through an HTTP url requiring athentication

        Hello everybody and Happy New Year 2004!
          
        I have a question for you all:
          
        I need to retrieve an XML file from an ASP server, so that I can use it with PHP and XSLT to use the informations the way I want.
        The XML file is generated through an ASPX page under http and it need a password to be accessible.
        My problem is that if I use the address directly into my borwser like:
        http : // username:passw@ www .thesite.com /ghj/trioze.aspx , my browser displays correctly the page.
        Now, using cURL with this code:

          echo "Initializing cURL session...<br>";
          $ch = curl_init("http : // www .thesite.com /ghj/trioze.aspx ");
          echo "Setting cURL options...<br>";
          //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http : // www .thesite.com /ghj/trioze.aspx ");
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:passw");
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
          echo "Executing cURL options...<br>";
          curl_exec($ch);
          curl_close($ch);
          fclose($fp);
          
        I get a 401 Acces Denied error. I know the aspx request is made through the 'get' method. I know also that cURL is using the same method. Why does it not work? Is there any additionnal informations I need to send with the curl_setopt()? Maybe it is too obvious and I am not getting it.
        If anybody can help, that would be fantastic!
          
        Many thanks anyway!
          
        Christian
