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:

http://httrack.kauler.com/screenshots/http_authentication.png

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:
