Hi,

I'm trying to GET an URL protect by user&password and I don't find any info about syntax I needed. I try to simulate a direct telnet to a web server but it doesn't work:

telnet [host] 80
GET http://host/index.html HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic [code]
Host: [host]

Any idea.
Thank's.

If its standard Basic auth that we're talking about then, the authorization header is just the username and password concatenated together and then base64 encoded so

perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("Aladdin:open sesame") . "
";'

will print the value QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ== which you would then put in your authorization header:

telnet [host] 80
GET /protected_document.html HTTP/1.0
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

[server response should come here]

Thank you for your answer, but maybe I'm not express very good.
I want the flood XML syntax to simulate this commands; so, how to pass user and password information in stress testing.

Thanks.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
