how do you access a webpage which has a form-based authentication setup using java.
i am able to do it using an href http://<user>:<password>@url... but the problem is it shows the passowrd. I tried to construct the above url in a servlet and then doing a sendRedirect. but the sendRedirect doesn't seem to like the format of the url,specifically having the user:password. Is there a way to do it using java classes URLconnection or HttpURLConnection __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
