    Web monitoring and Basic Authentication

    Hi all,

    How can I monitor a webpage with basic authentication with this nice little
    feature called "Web Monitoring"?

    Many thanks

    I am also interested in this feature, but do not know how to implement it. Any help would be appreciated.

      Wild guess: can't you query the URL with username/password inserted?

          Sorry, no way. The syntax seems to be to old and I think URLs like name:Password@www.www.com are a security risk.

            More Authentication issues

            Thanks to this discussion, I was able to determine that the "http"//user[email protected]" variation of a URL does indeed work for http "Basic" Authentication. I have another problem now.
            I want to monitor a web interface on a network switch to determine what MAC addresses are connected to a given port. This information does not seem to be available through SNMP. The administrative interface for the switch uses a JavaScript pop-up window for capturing the login name and password.
            The code that produces this is shown below:

            Code:
            <script language="JavaScript">
            <!--
              var newWind=window.open("password.html","subwindow","height=250,width=450");
            //-->
            </script>

            Any ideas about how I might work through this with the Web Monitoring features of Zabbix 1.4.2?

            Thanks
