Name
get_basic_credentials
Synopsis
$ua
->get_basic_credentials(realm
, url
)
Description
Returns the list containing the username and password for
the given realm and url when authentication is required by the server. This function is usually
called internally by request
. This method becomes useful when creating a subclass of LWP::UserAgent
with its own version of get_basic_credentials
. From there, you can rewrite
get_basic_credentials
to do more flexible things, like asking the user for the account information, or referring
to authentication information in a file. All you need to do is return a list,
where the first element is a username and the second element is a password.
