Specifying User and Password for HTTP::Request object.

[awolff01]

HTTP:Request::Common
LWP::UserAgent
XML::Simple.

I am using the above modules to makes calls to a

http://www server

and parsing the return xml data. But the web server requires authentication how do I specify the username and password when making the Http Request?


Thank You.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use HTTP::Request::Common;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $url = "

http://domain.com/protected/";

my $agent = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $req = HTTP::Request->new;

$req->method('POST');
$req->uri($url);
$req->authorization_basic('username','password');

my $content = $agent->request($req)->as_string;

# Return the request
print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $content;
print $req->as_string;
