HTTP authentication

You can recognise HTTP Authentication when you access part of a website and your browser pops up a window prompting for username and password. Internet Explorer looks like:

To handle this type of authentication with HTTrack, use the following syntax for your URL(s), with the username and password that you would normally enter in the browser popup window:

username:password@your.url

Example:

http://john:mypassword@www.example.com/private/page.html

Notes

If your username and/or password contains "special" characters you may have to replace (encode) them.

For example, if your username/password contains a '@' character, you should replace all '@' occurences with '%40' so that it can work: user%40domain.com:password@www.example.com/auth/.

Other characters include:

• ampersand & (%26)
• at @ (%40)
• space (%20)
• double-quote " (%22)
• single-quote ' (%27)
• colon : (%3A)
