Hi - how does one rip a password protected website? It's the kind of password that you enter in a message box that pops up. I always use winhttrack to rip websites - but it doesn't seem to have an option to enter the password. Thanks for your help!

Hahahaha, that pr0n is very tempting huh?
I don't know how or if it is possible. Wouldn't be much point in having a pay-site then.

I guess you have to ask all these fine people, I'm sure they'd help you rip someone off.

question: if you have a legit user acct and password for a site (access to all the content), is it ok to use the program to rip it all? i dont see why not. i think that is what the op is asking (more of a how do i set up the program to do this, not a help me crack this website).

there should be settings for the program for pw required sites. ihavent used the prog in ages so i cant say of the top of my head. and if you are indeed trying to break into the sites, i am of no help (and you are barking up the wrong tree)

:roll:

His question had nothing to do with hacking, nor did it involve any type of ripping someone off. He asked if there was a website-sucker that handled HTTP authentication (more or less).

argh - yall misunderstood me - I already have an account. Thus I already have a valid user name and password. Anyways - I figured it out on my own - I replaced the www in the url with username:password@. Worked like a charm! :D

edit: obviously replacing the username and password with the real usernames and passwords...

Chances are its against the TOS for the site that you legitimately paid money for, that is, if it has any sort of TOS.
