THTTPRIO and Username / Password

[Victor Cazacov]

How can I configure HTTPRIO component to send username/password to server ?

Server requires line like
Authorization: Basic cG9NdW46cGFzc3dcciW=
to be present in the header.

Did you test it ?

I set UserName and password properties, but authorization line do not appear
in the http header, I can see it with tcpTrace. I think these properties are
proxy login/password and do not affect message header.

Server is configured properly, I can connect to it from my Java client
(tcpTrace shows me correct header with authorization line).

Yes, I removed "anonymous access" and I managed to get a basic
authentication going (I saw the "Basic:..." header)

Nope they're even there for regular web pages. This uses WinInet - you can
see in SOAPHTTP.pas (I think) where there's the InternetOpen and
InternetConnect calls.

Can you remove anonymous access? Btw, is the server IIS?
