Really difficult situation: Help needed !

[Anon]

Hi there...I´ve got a really difficult situation. How is it actually possible to connect with "fsockopen" to a website with authentification (http username/password protection)?

My current code snippet looks like this:
$sock = fsockopen($urlArray[host], $urlArray[port], &$errnum, &$errstr);

PLEASE help me !

Here's a start.

It looks like you need to compute the value of "username:password" in base64 encoding, and pass that as an extra HTTP request header.
