logging in to a site that requires a user and password

Hi,

I have a webcam running as a webserver, but it requires login just to view. Visitors to my website are becoming annoyed that they have to login just to view my webcam. Is there a way with php to send the login and password names to the popup that appears on connection? Better still suppressing the popup and performing the login under the covers?

I know the format http://user:[email protected] will bypass the login, but it's no longer supported by IE.

HI - thanks for the interest. If I remove the login, then anyone can perform admin functions on the camera. The camera comes with a read-only user/password and an admin user/password.

Looks like my starting point is going to be screen scraping and cURL. Am I on the right lines?
