Make sure to do it before the get.

Hope that helps!

How do you make get the page when using basic_auth? Below is code, I am
getting a 401 error. I am not sure if the basic _auth comes before the
agent.get. I will appreciate any help.

require ''mechanize''
require ''logger''

  agent = WWW::Mechanize.new {|a| a.log = Logger.new(STDERR) }
  page = agent.get(''https://brewx.qualcomm.com/developer'' )
  agent.basic_auth(''username'', ''password'')
  page = agent.get(''https://brewx.qualcomm.com/developer'' )


Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks for response I am still having some problems now its the 403.
Manually I can login with no probems, but there is a popup page to enter
username and password. How do I process the username popup?

require ''mechanize''
require ''logger''


CP_LOGGER = Logger.new( ''cp.log'' )

CP_LOGGER.level = Logger::INFO

  agent = WWW::Mechanize.new {|a| a.log = Logger.new(STDERR) }

  agent.basic_auth(''username'', ''password'')

  page = agent.get(''https://'' )

Is it actually a popup?  Or is it a username/password prompt?  If its just a
username/password prompt, setting the username and password through the
basic_auth method will do the trick.  If it is actually a popup, you''ll
have
to fill out the popup form.
