Re: Doing basic authentication

Turns out that Raffaele was right on the money.  Things were happening
due to magic I didn't understand.

Since I'm always talking to the same server though, I tried putting the
credentials in proactively using HTRequest_addCredentials() and it works
like a charm.  If basic_credentials() wasn't declared PRIVATE in
HTAABrow.c I wouldn't have had to copy it though.  It might be nice if
the bit that uuencodes the credentials into a 'cookie' was in a separate
(PUBLIC) routine as well.

Once again, the solution was simple once I figured out what the library
was really doing.  It's great having source and the help available. 
Thanks again.
