hie
i have a html form and while posting a request to a url i also want to pass crendtials using basic-auth
can anybody please share a code example on how to do that?
A:
You could set the url of the form's action attribute to
http://username:[email protected]/somewebpage.html
but I don't think this will work with Internet Explorer. There were some spammers abusing this and Microsoft disabled it.

The user can always fill in the popup dialog manually.
