I am trying to understand how HTTP headers work with password
protected sites and file downloads.
I am registered with a fantasy sports pool (free) and want to access a
downloadable text file.
The key is to use Rev to download then to a spreadsheet.
This works manually.
http;//BHQlogin:BHQpasswd at www.baseballhq.com/members/tools/projections/proj.php
"
right click => to download
Question What am I missing?
I set the libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders == those used by the actual
browser but get a blank page.
Now trying to use
libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders + libURLLastHTTPHeaders()
and the power of LiveHeaders in the FireFox browser
Here is the simple effort
--> the url works in a browser, but not from a Rev script
get 'http;//BHQlogin:BHQpasswd at www.baseballhq.com/'
get it & "members/tools/"
get it & "projections/proj.php?"
get it & "lg=N&p=P&t=PY"
put url it into allPitchersBlock
-----
<h1 >Access Denied</h1>
<p>Unfortunately, there was problems accessing the page you tried to
request.

then using libURLLastHTTPHeaders()
GET /members/tools/projections/proj.php?lg=N&p=P&t=PY HTTP/1.1
Host: wvw.baseballhq.com
User-Agent: Revolution (MacOS)
Authorization: Basic cm90b3Bhc3MyOjUzcHJpbnQ0Ng==

----however, using LiveHeaders and the real url in the browser yields
Since this is LONG message, please click on the link to open a web
page in your browser
