Hi all,

I try with this code:
use LWP::Simple;
$netloc = "http://username:password\@www.server.com/data/data.db";
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";
$content = get($netloc);
print $content;

But I can not get any thing although the file data.db exists.

I would appreciate any helps.

Thanks in advance,

Beck

Do you have ftp access to the site?

You will have to use LWP::UserAgent instead of LWP::Simple. You can then specify more headers, like so:

use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$req = new HTTP::Request GET => 'http://www.server.com/secret/';
$req->authorization_basic('username', 'password');
print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

Hope this helps.

You can read the full range of methods here:

Hi,

I have problem:
if I use this code :
It return the index page.
But I really whant to get a file in that directory for example data.txt. And I use the following code :
It returns a forbidden code.
Please advice.

Im guessing you changed www.server.com/secret/ to your servers' url?

Hi Paul,

Yes, I changed. But I really want to get a data file not the index file of the directory.

Thanks as always,

Beck

Not sure. Have you read the documentation? It sounds to me like you need to Authenticate yourself to the server, then go in and retrieve the document. You can't do this in one go, it seems.
