hiya, sorry i'm a bit of a perl novice. all i know is that it's a site that when i go to the url (https://secure-test.bibit.com/jsp/merchant/xml/paymentService.jsp) is that it brings up a dialogue box asking for name/password. is there a way for LWP to post a name/password combination and content to this kind of url? it doesn't need a certificate or anything i think. thanks again, c
