Handling http authenticated urls from elisp

Question

Hi all,

is there a library in elisp which helps to get data of a page which is only reachable through HTTP redirect after authentication? I've just started looking at the URL lib.

Answer 1

Perhaps something in the w3m package can help?

Answer 2

Though not an elisp package, the wget library is written specifically for this: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/
