Hi, I'm currently implementing a browser "recorder" functionality that can record a browsing sequence and later play it back. Works great so far, except for pages protected by HTTP Authentication. Is there any way to find out that the HTTP Authentication login window was displayed, and what was entered as username and password? Regards, Brian

Chances are, you will have to sniff the underlying HTTP traffic directly in order to know when the server asks for authentication, and what credentials are being sent in reply. Gambit

Yes, that's what I was afraid I had to do. Currently I use a TCppWebBrowser instance and capture the URLs in the BeforeNavigate2 event. Is there no way to get information about requested HTTP Authentication and the supplied login data from a TCppWebBrowser instance? Regards and thanks, Brian

You could examine them to see if any authentication values are present. Gambit

It's true that you can access the headers there, but apparently not all, because OnBeforeNavigate2 is called before I'm prompted for my login details. The authentication header values are not present when this event is fired. Brian
