HTTP network module

The HTTP module takes care of communication with an http server. It accepts msg_get_url messages and outputs msg_network_status and msg_network_data messages.

Password protected sites

Sites protected with passwords according to RFC 2617 can be accessed by giving the username and password information in the url (see the url_string documentation for more information about this).

If a password protected site is encountered and a password is not stored in the url_string, the http module will send out a msg_get_user_authentication to request a username/password combo from the user. Upon successful completion, it will re-request the document.
