in thread Using credentials method of UserAgent

That's right. You can try getting the realm from the command line with this:
lwp-request -e http://some.url
Just hit return if it asks for a password, then look for the WWW-Authenticate header.

    Yes. BTW, lwp-request seems to be a very useful tool for seeing exactly what is going on.
      How can this work with an https connection (rather than an http)? Can I still pass a realm,username,password via SSL w/this method? Thanks. damnFool
