Hi...
Some clarification:
I know about the http://user:passwd@some.com sintax.
I was asking if curl can do this:
I pass an url ( with no username/passwd information ) using the CURLOPT_URL and I don't know if a username/passwd is required.
If the url can be extracted without any authentication form the server - then that's ok.
If the server requires an authentication, then the curl/ curl library should prompt for a callback.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi...
I'm trying to use libcurl to get a file form a site that requires a username and a password.
If I type the url in a browser ( like IE ), the IE knows to prompt me for the username + password.
Shouldn't the curl library ( or the curl command line tool ) do the same thing ?
It seems to me that CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION callback should be invoked in this case and it should allow me to specify an username and a passwd. The curl library should be smart to detect when a authentication is required based on the url given and the response from server.
How can this be done?
Thanks,
Adrian
