Downloading http url with username & password?

I need to download a HTTP url, and the server requires a username and password. However it does not offer https access, only http, so the 'Security' tab of the HTTP action is set to 'None'. (I'm mentioning this because I'm not sure if the username & password authentication are also used when using *no* security protocol?)

I've isolated a test case, see attachment. I'm trying to download this test url:
http://rand0mized.co.cc/test/cat.jpg
(username = user, password = example)

The .bld says "Error getting file: The specified resource cannot be found (Not Found)" although it works fine in my browser.

I'm probably not using the HTTP action correctly, what am I doing wrong?

Hmm strange, I just updated to 7.2 and tried again, but still no go

Actually, I tried downloading a link that doesn't require a username/password (see example2.bld in attachment), i.e. just a plain normal http download, and even that gives me the same problem!

Dunno if it helps, but I've set the logging of the HTTP action to 'All' and tried again, see the results attached. Any idea?

(PS. It's not just this test site or server, I've tested with several different URLs as well)
(PPS. Just to be sure, I also disabled my firewall and tried again: no difference unfortunately)

Did you try my .bld file? One difference I noticed is that the URL field in yours includes the protocol+domain (i.e., http://rand0mized.co.cc/cat.jpg). It should include only the filename on the server (i.e., /cat.jpg).

Oh, sorry.. *feeling stupid* Yes I did try your .bld now, and apparently the protocol+domain vs filename difference did the trick

Thanks a lot for your great service!
