    How would one go about fetching a file from a server protected by .htpasswd?

    I know how to fetch files, but there seems no way to get past the validation. Am I missing an obvious function? I have the credentials, of course.

    Thanks in advance.

      One way to try is:
      http://username:password@url.com

      or set header as:
      local header = {
    'Authorization: Basic '..base64_encode("user:password") 
}
      Although I have not tried it, but you can try to use base64 encoding code from here:
      http://lua-users.org/wiki/BaseSixtyFour

      or any other lua base64 encoding lib out there :)
