HI, All

Possible HTTP downloading file with login\password ?

Why don't you add username and password encrypted as headers and handle the headers in the receiving part?

 

[peacemaker]

Hmm, indeed, no problem to do as both sides can. So, question is how server side can

 

[hatzisn]

For server side which language do you use?

 

[hatzisn]

You can make a request like https://www.mysite.com/app?fileid=1 with the prementioned headers. On server side validate credentials and identify the file by the fileid (or whatever you use). Set the response type to application/content-stream read the file and write its bytes to the response.
