some sites use a challenge/response authentication which basically involves the site returning a 403 error, and then your agent re-requests, sending the user/pass this time - not sure on the specifics but should be easy enough to google.
I have no idea how this applies to LWP(as I dont use it), but this is how password protected sites work - hopefully its enough information for you to get it working with LWP :)

hi...
a general question... i've used the LWP functions to access sites before. however, i'm curious...
is there a way to access a site that requires a user/passwd, so that you can establish the initial connection after you've logged in, and then be able to generate the http request, and then log off...
and, is there a way to use the LWP functions that will allow me to get the content that's inside a given frame???
i'm assuming there is, but i haven't been able to find any reasonable/clear examples as to how to get this to work...
thanks
