I’m writing a script to parse a web page that’s protected by htaccess  
( my stats page on my web host) and I’m not sure how to get in if the  
page requires htaccess. Can someone point me to a guide for this? I’m  
fine getting and parsing non protected page. I just don’t know how to  
authenticate.

Thanks!
