title: Auto authenticate HTTP authentication
body: <p>Is there any way, in php, to submit (automatically) the user and pass to an HTTP authentication popup? The HTTP authentication isn't my script, so I have no way of controlling it myself, but I'd like to just be able to pass the authentication information automatically rather than having to enter the login manually. Possibly via a curl function or otherwise. Or, even if I need to go lower level for this, like c++ or command/bash script, that would also be okay.</p>
