execute a webtest with basic http authentication using perl's http::webtest
 

hello
i would like to execute webtest via nagios in a webpage that uses http authentication: it's a pop-up that appears when trying to access a web. I set the authentication in httpd.conf

i am using the perl module http::webtest but i can't seem to find out how i can test the page with the authentication and all.

thank you in advance for your help.
kind regards

Mario G.

hello
apparently the solution, work around is to put the username and password in the url to check like this: http://username:password@host.com. this way wt can webtest a page which uses weak http authentication.

hope it can help somebody.
