Subject: Want some information....

Hi,
   I want to know about authentication in ruby. Is it possible to scrap
html of those sites which require basic authentication.

eg. I want to scrap the profile html page of a user. But in order to get
to that page I need to enter the username and password. Now if I'm using
'net/http' to scrap the contents of the profile page, how can I
implement the same. Is it possible in ruby to scrap web pages for which
the user need to enter the username and password.

Please help

N. B. - providing link to any documentation which states this problem
will be really helpfull.


Regards
Arun
