hey ,

below an example of a code

url = URI.parse(‘[http://www.example.com/todo.cgi](http://www.example.com/todo.cgi)’)  
req = Net::HTTP:: Post.new(url.path)  
req.basic\_auth ‘jack’, ‘pass’  
req.set\_form\_data({‘from’=\>‘2005-01-01’, ‘to’=\>‘2005-03-31’}, ‘;’)  
res = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port).start {|http| http.request(req)  
}

i use this code to get a component of a local page (different  
controller )

example : from home/index send a request to products/list

to send a request i need a password but i dont know how to get it ,  
how to decrypt it

is there another way to loggin without login and password , with session  
or cookies in the request header for exampe

thnx
