Sending Auth

[Anon]

I'm having trouble opening a page via http that has 401 Authorization. I understand you can pass the username:pass through the URL but to no avail.

Example:

http://username:[e-mail]/somefile

So I figured the best way would be to connect using a socket connection. But how do i send the username/pass with fgets() ?

This is what i have but doesnt work:

fputs($fp, "GET http://192.168.1.1/Status.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:192.168.1.1:80\r\nAuthorization: Basic ".base64_encode("username:password") ."\r\n\r\n");

Now this doesnt work mind you, but am i on the right track? How do open a file, and send the username and pass along?

Yes you're on the right track. It's just your socket stuff is a little wrong. When you open up the connection, do a:

$fp = fsockopen("192.168.1.1/", 80);

then do a GET like this:

fputs($fp, "GET /Status.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n);

with the base auth the way you've done it.

This is the code im using:

$fp = fsockopen ("192.168.1.1", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);

$pass = base64_encode("derek:password");

fputs($fp, "GET /Status.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nAuthorization: Basic $admin\r\n");

while (!feof($fp)) {
	echo fgets ($fp,128);
}

fclose ($fp);

This is what returns:

HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Linksys BEFSR41/BEFSR11/BEFSRU31"

Try doubling up the crlf's at the end of the line - the header request isn't complete wo/it.

fputs($fp, "GET /Status.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nAuthorization: Basic $admin\r\n\r\n");

note two trailing \r\n pairs...
