Header redirect

[pyfsapple]

Dear all

In accessing directories with password protection, we may enter
http://id:[e-mail]/protectedDir/...
directly in the url fields of the browsers.

In PHP, we may use:

header("Location: [url]http://...[/url]") to redirect to the specified page,

but
header("Location: http://id:[e-mail]/protectedDir/...") dose not work!!
A login dialogue will "pop out" with empty entries!!

How can I code this in order to get the same effect in directly enter the url to browsers?😕

it is

"http://id:[e-mail]/protectedDir/..."

well,

Header("Location: http://user:[e-mail]/directory/");

should work, but i've never tried it.

if you get the prompt you probably have the wrong user/password combo entered. if anything you should at least have the username field filled.

Q: when you put in the user/pass combo when the dialogue box comes up, do you get to your desired page? (eg: http://user:[e-mail]/directory/)

Ha~
The PHP code you wrote is that I have tried and posted above.

It does not work......

Anyway, thank you!

could it be that it doesn't like the /directory/?

so maybe this would work?:

http://user:[e-mail]/
