This is my first fumble through the LWP modules so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious. I Super Searched to no avail.

One of my coworkers asked me if it would be possible to automate the process of taking a web page (generated through a POST) and importing the table on that page into Excel. Hey! Looks like another good opportunity to showcase perl. (I've already made them all install it).

Well the downside is that it's an ASP page on an NT server using MS Challenge/Response Authentication. Using IE, I can go there no problem.. no prompts for user and password. Using LWP::UserAgent, it's telling me "Error: Access is Denied".

My questions is.. how would I go about authenticating with MS Challenge/Response authentication using LWP? The Docs only talked about simple and digest authentaication.

Thanks,
Rich
