designer help implies that you can add a web login and password to a URLOpen command
however I cant make this work even with this database
has anyone succeeded?
does the target URL need to be constructed in a particular way so that @URLOpen works?
From designer help
Retrieves a World Wide Web page specified by its URL.
Syntax
@URLOpen
@URLOpen( urlstring )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [ reloadflag ] )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [URLLIST] )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [ reloadflag ]:[URLLIST] )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [ reloadflag ]:[URLLIST] ; charset )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [ reloadflag ]:[URLLIST] ; charset; webusername )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [ reloadflag ]:[URLLIST] ; charset ; webusername; webpassword )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [ reloadflag ]:[URLLIST] ; charset ; webusername ; webpassword ; proxywebusername )
@URLOpen( urlstring ; [ reloadflag ]:[URLLIST] ; charset ; webusername ; webpassword ; proxywebusername ; proxywebpassword )
Parameters
urlstring
Text. Optional. The URL for the Web page you want to open, for example, http://www.acme.com/.
[ reloadflag ]
Keyword. Optional.
RELOAD. Reloads the page from its Internet server.
RELOADIFMODIFIED. Reloads the page only if it has been modified on its Internet server.
[URLLIST]
Keyword. Optional. Web pages can contain URL links to other Web pages. This keyword specifies that the Web Navigator should save the URLs in a field called URLLinksn in the Notes/Domino document. (The Web Navigator creates a new URLLinksn field each time the field size reaches 64K. For example, the first URLLinks field would be URLLinks1, the second would be URLLinks2, and so on.)
If you save the URLs, you can use them in agents; for example, you could create an agent that opens Web pages in the Web Navigator database and then loads all the Web pages saved in each of the URLLinksn field(s).
Caution Saving URLs in the URLLinksn field(s) may affect performance.
[RELOAD] : [URLLIST]
Keywords. Optional. Specify both keywords to force a reload of the Web page and save the URLs in the URLLinksn field in the Notes/Domino document.
charset
Text. Optional. Enter the MIME character set (for example, ISO-2022-JP for Japanese or ISO-8859-1 for United States) that you want the Web Navigator to use when processing the Web page. Only use this parameter when the Web Navigator detects the MIME character set of the URL contents incorrectly.
webusername
Text. Optional. Some Internet servers require you to obtain a user name before you can access their pages. This parameter allows you to enter the user name that you previously obtained from the Internet server.
webpassword
Text. Optional. Some Internet servers require you to obtain a password before you can access their pages. This parameter allows you to enter the password that you previously obtained from the Internet server.
proxywebusername
Text. Optional. Some proxy servers require that you specify a user name in order to connect through them. This parameter allows you to enter the user name for the proxy server. See your administrator for the user name required by the proxy.
proxywebpassword
Text. Optional. Some proxy servers require that you specify a password in order to connect through them. This parameter allows you to enter the password for the proxy server. See your administrator for the password required by the proxy.
Usage
The @URLOpen function works from both the Notes/Domino workstation and server.
The user name and password parameters work only with the Notes Web Navigator. Other browsers always prompt for authentication.
For use on the server, you need to specify at least one parameter with the function; using the function without any parameters will attempt to display the URL Open dialog box which cannot be done from the server. If you want to use any of the parameters that follow the Reload and URLList keywords without specifying values for either of the keywords, enter a zero (0) in place of the keyword value(s). For example, @URLOpen(“http://www.ibm.com”;0;“myusername”;“mypassword”).
When a Notes browser triggers the @URLOpen function, it displays the retrieved Web page in a new window. To program an @URLOpen function used on a form or page that will only be accessed by a non-Notes browser to display the retrieved Web page in a new window, create an Action Hotspot and append target=" " to the URL string in its Click event. For example, @URLOpen(“http:\www.ibm.com” target=" "). Be sure to leave a space between the quotes
