i want to moitor some password protected pages, but in the web spy plugin there isn't a field for the username and the password. such a feature would be very useful

Hi
I have added this suggestion to my to do list.

From other hand: before last updates of Internet Eplorer issued by Microsoft it was possible to open secured sities via entering authentication data in URLs like this:

http://user_name:password@www.mysite.com

Very best regards!

yea, i tried entering the user and pass there but it didn't work...

I don't know what authentication sheme is required at your site - but I was able to check password protected site via this method.

In my case site is protected by BASIC authentication method on Apache Linux server.

Used convenction was:

http://username:password@www.mysite.com/ProtectedPage

Please note the ":" that separates user name and password.

Very best regards!
