That great!
Just a quickie. Is there any way how I can customize Mango Automation myself? Or it is not intended to do?
Cheers,

Hi Joel,

I am currently playing a bit with Mango Automation. It is a nice tool.

How long would it take to update Mango with that feature?
I have already used basic authentication in Java for retrieving XML files from my embedded web server.

here a code snippet:


private String encodeHttpAuthorization(String user, String pass)
  throws Exception
  {
      String urlEncStr = "";
      if(user.length() != 0 || pass.length() != 0)
      {
          
          String userpass = user + ":" + pass;
//          urlEncStr = "Basic " + javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(userpass.getBytes());
          urlEncStr = "Basic " + new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode (userpass.getBytes());
        //String basicAuth = "Basic " + new String(new Base64().encode(userpass.getBytes()));

      }
      return urlEncStr;
  }
...
...
try
    {
      // create the HttpURLConnection
      url = new URL(desiredUrl);
      connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
      
      connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
      connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", encodeHttpAuthorization("admin", "00000"));
      
      connection.setDoInput(true);
...
...

Hi,

how is it possible to set user, password combination in HTTP retriever module for basic HTTP authentication ?
I have an embedded device with ethernet connection. I am using xml files on it with different tags (device description, MAC, address, analog/digital data...) I want to retrieve with HTTP Retriever module.
However the XML files may just be accessed with authentication.

Thanks in advance
Janus
