Login via ASP 1

[davepruce]

Hi
Actual problem is I want to login to a Networked Axis 2100 Camera automatically from a web page.
We have all our cameras covered with logins and passwords into the builtin servers, but I now need to have a page that simply displays the current picture.
I dont seem to be able to find a way to pass the login and password using ASP. Its all totally secure because its our protected intranet.
Any help gratefully accepted
Cheers
Dave

Dave,

This is the syntax for sending username/password through a URL:

http://username:password@server/resource.ext

I don't know exactly how you are connecting to the camera but you could probably use XMLHTTP object. Something like this:

URL = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://username:password@server/resource.ext"[/URL]
'create the xmlhttp object
Set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")   
'use the open command to get the url
objXMLHTTP.Open "GET", URL, false   
objXMLHTTP.Send
Ctext = objXMLHTTP.responseText
' then output it all.
response.write Ctext

I've never tried this but it's worth a shot. If this doesn't work then tell me how you connect to the camera normally and I'll try to adapt the code to that.
