read () authentication

[mojodojo]

I want to use the read() function to read contents from another webserver. However, the webpage requires the user to authenticate before letting you view the content I want to capture. How can one use php to login to the webpage and read the file and output it to something else.

Sounds like someone is trying to steal someone elses content, not good.

not at all, it is using my own username and password. my work firewall just blocks this site and I want to be able to view the site with my logon credentials. sort of a php anonymizer.
