URL To bypass .htaccess

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 26.2006

when typing a url into ‘Internet Explorer’ is there a way to type it in such a manner that you are are providing the username and password for .htaccess so that the login box does not appear?

for example if the url is:
‘http://www.testingwebsite.com/secure/accounts.htm‘

and .htaccess details
username=peterpan, password=2TyiL12P (encrypted – basic authentication)

Can you write a url including these details so authentication is not required?

many regards

@russellkainauthorFeb 26.2006 — nah that didnt work.

i think its something your supposed to add to the end of the url but im not sure whether the password should be in its encrypted format or not ? ? ?

@KravvitzFeb 26.2006 — Oops. I meant this:
http://peterpan:[email protected]/secure/accounts.htm

If it doesn't work try using the unencrypted password. If that doesn't work, then you're stuck.

@David_HarrisonFeb 27.2006 — I would just like to check at this point, that's not a genuine username and password is it? If so I strongly recommend removing it immediately. If you want to represent a password, a string of *'s will do.

@ray326Feb 27.2006 — and .htaccess details

username=peterpan, password=2TyiL12P (encrypted - basic authentication)[/QUOTE]You don't use the encrypted password. If your password is "wendy" then it will be.

http://peterpan:[email protected]/

Success!
