Getting URL of a shoutcast server....

[Andrew Kluthe]

So basically you just need to trick it into recognizing your user agent it
seems.

As far as getting into the authorized parts of your site,

 libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders "GET / HTTP/1.1" & cr & "Authorization: Basic "
& base64Encode("username:password") & cr &"User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows
NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.116
Safari/537.36"

should do the trick. This sets the basic auth that shoutcast servers use to
a base64encoded string of your username and password for the authorized
parts of your shoutcast server.

You might have the jiggle the handle a little bit with the headers in case
they are checking the Referer or something. Here is a full header info of
the unauthorized request I made to your admin page.
