Perhaps I should make the new HTTP::Request that gets created by follow() somehow inherit the credentials from the initial request? Or is this not a problem? xoxo, Andy -- <megaphone> Throw down the gun and tiara and come out of the float! </megaphone>	[reply]

I don't think it it's a problem. Calling `$agent->credentials()` makes more sense than getting an HTTP::Request object and calling `authorization_basic()` on it, now that I understand how it works. An example in the docs would be good, though.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As always, patches welcome! If you have sample code and an explanation, I'll add it to the docs for the distro. Either email me at andy@petdance.com or submit it at http://rt.cpan.org. Thanks, xoxo, Andy	[reply]

Perhaps I should make the new HTTP::Request that gets created by follow() somehow inherit the credentials from the initial request? Maybe have the option to specify the request object in the follow/get so you could do: `$agent->follow($link, request => $agent->req)` [download] Then again, it's never been a problem for me. Maybe make the semantics of req a little more explicit in the docs?	[reply] [d/l]
