send a password to website

[Karsten Seresse]

Hi !

I´m looking for a possibility to send a password to a website (Intranet,
so security is a minor issue) with a tcl-script. I saw that there is a
browser plugin, is it possible with that ?

Any hints are welcome

Its put in the url itself. I think it's done like this:

http:user:pass://www.site.com/page

The browser plugin is different. It runs in the page on the client side,
not part of the fetch.

People mean several different things by "go to a site
with a password". Davy's formula above might well be
the clue the original poster needed. If not, I strongly
urge her to write again, perhaps with an explanation of
how she uses Tcl withOUT passwords. It's certain that
Tcl can do this chore; we just need to be clear on what
it is.

If the page is .htaccess protected, and that's why you need a password,
you can do:

package require http
package require base64 ;# from tcllib

set user username
set pass password

set authdata [::base64::encode "$user:$pass"]
set authheader [list Authorization [list Basic $authdata]]

set url http://my.url

set token [::http::geturl $url -headers $authheader]
set body [::http::data $token]
