If you mean that there is a page with a couple of text boxes in which you
enter a user name and password (as opposed to an authentication dialog that
pops up) then you'll probably have to do a POST to the page that
authenticates this information and pass these two fields, then get back the
session ID or cookie or whatever the Web site uses to say "you're logged in"
and pass that along with the following request for the file. I don't think
there's a simple, generic answer; you'll have to talk to the people who
manage the site or dig around and figure out for yourself what needs to be
done.
