Is it possible to use llHTTPRequest to a password protected directory? Normally, using a browser, going to a protected directory prompts for a user and password. How would the user and password be handled in LSL?

Thanks

sending plaintext would generally be a bad idea... use https

I don't know much about protocols, but I think that HTTPS requires SSL.
At my last shared web hosting, SLL costed ≈ USD 100 / year.

Thanks everyone. The format https://user:password@url works just fine. I appreciate the assistance.

Sweet! Glad to hear it works... And laughing at the way the forums changed that to user-tongue-assword :)
