Ia there any way to use InetRead($url) with login and password?

[Vitaliy4us]

The function InetRead($url) returns a page containing login form, but I need to get it under my credentials (as a regular page for registered user). If I try to use the credentials in this way:

$url = "https://login:pass@URL"

the function does not work. Maybe it happens because of login is represented by email containing "@" character. Is their any way to get the page with InetRead($url) function under my credentials?

I've got the same question:

How can I use InetRead with username and password, when the username is an email address (already containing the character '@')?

Unfortunately this hasn't worked.

Urlencode the username :).

Use %40 in your username instead of the @ symbol for the url encoding, e.g.:

http://my_email%40gmail.com:password@www.my_site.com

If the page returns login form then form-based auth is used and credentials passed in this manner have no meaning (if at all, depending if system/browser/Inet..set of functions allows it).

This can only be used for "basic auth".

Good hint, but I already have tried that without success.

You're right, @trancexx: I end up at a login form.
So it seems, my original try with username@password won't work in this case.
