| Hi :) I'm trying to make a online score table via php, sql, and blitzmax, but for security i'm trying to restrict access via .htaccess and .htpassword files but the problem is : When i try to send a http request via blitzmax => php i can't because htaccess restrict my entry :/ is there a method to pass login and password via blitzmax ? or another idea ? |

| is there a method to pass login and password via blitzmax ? No. Http streams don't support authentication.The other idea would be "don't use http authentication at all", anyone with a packet sniffer would (unless you're doing the SSL thing) quite easilly be able to read your credentials. If you're really that paranoid about cheating, encrypt the data you're sending. |

| You can send it by using the following format: user:password@... (this is of course plain text, so not entirely secure) |

| Filax, you said (in the french forum) that you were using ETNA to access the remote server: so in ETNA there is an encryption which is very simple to use, with just 1 or 2 parameters to add. And this encryption is very reliable. Please refer to the help files... |
