AJAX POST To .HTACCESS Protected Page

[libertyct]

I have a .htaccess protected page that requires users to enter a user-name and password before viewing the page. This page is uploaded to a remote staging server. What I would like to do is be able to make Ajax requests to the page from code residing on my localhost, and as part of the call, perhaps pass the user-name and password as HTTP headers so my script will be allowed access to the protected page. I know this is possible with Flash but I would like to give it an attempt with just Ajax.

 

Any suggestions?

for anyone that might be running into the same issue I came up with a solution, you have to construct your Ajax url as follows:

 

http://username:password@stage.domain.ca/gateway.php this will bypass the .haccess login form when your local script hits your remote script
