wget for a password protected apache website

[keak]

Hi there,

Is it possible to get http response using the "wget" command for a website that uses apache's auth module. I have the user name and password for the site. A simple "wget

http://www.examplesite.com"

gives me (as expected):

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Authorization Required
Authorization failed.

Hi

Did you read the man page ?

--http-user=user
--http-passwd=password
Specify the username user and password password on an HTTP server. According to the type of the challenge, Wget will encode them using either the "basic" (insecure) or the "digest" authentication scheme.
