http authentication

[Mathias Wittwer]

hi,   i would like to download a page, which is protected by username and password.   the start page is something like http://www.zzz.ch/username.asp there 2 input fields for username and password. if the input is correct, i get forwarded to something like http://www.zzz.ch/usage.cgi. thats the page i would like to have locally for further processing.   as i am a newby, i am not sure how and where to start and the wget documentation did not really make sense to me so far.   is there any way to get wget to do that or am i on the wrong track?   Thanks for your respond!   matt
