Yes I think you can do this using something like: http://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxx/page.htmlBut this method is not very secure, since anyone can take a look in the html code of the help file, and the username/password are also shown in the address bar of the browser when the user opens it.

I want to add a link on my application's help menu where the user's default browser will be opened on a customer page on our website. The website is hosted on a provider running Apache server and I have protected the customer pages using the .htpasswd file where user logins adn password hashes are stored. Now I would like our application to be able to launch the browser on this webpage with the user/password already inside the URL passed to the browser so that the login dialogue does not pop up and the user gets immediately to the webpage. This way the application will be "logged on" transparently to the user. Is it possible to do this (to compose such an URL text)??? Maybe something like this but some other syntax: www.mydomain.com/protectedpage.shtml?USER=myuser?PWD=mypwd And please tell me if I am posting on the wrong NG for such a question, it seemed the closest I could get to, but might be wrong anyway...
