[ale] Using Perl to Access Linksys

[Armsby John-G16665]

I will be trying this...... Thanks for the tips....

use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://myProtectedURL');
$req->authorization_basic('myuserid', 'mypassword');
print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

If the login is coming from the linksys web servers, as Basic 
Authenication, then add a "Authorization" header to you GET requests. 
The header will look like this:

Authorization: BASIC d3fF53C7hRG6edk8Ut=

The last part of this header (d3fF53C7hRG6edk8Ut=) is the 
username/password. The username/password is Base64Encoded, in the form 
of username:password.

HTH,
Denny
