copied!<p>Matlab's urlread() function has a "params" argument, but these are CGI-style parameters that get encoded in the URL. Authentication is done with lower-level HTTP Request parameters. Urlread doesn't support these, but you can code directly against the Java URL class to use them.</p> <p>You can also use a Sun's sun.misc.BASE64Encoder class to do the Base 64 encoding programmatically. This is a nonstandard class, not part of the standard Java library, but you know that the JVM shipping with Matlab will have it, so you can get away with coding to it.</p> <p>Here's a quick hack showing it in action.</p> <pre><code>function [s,info] = urlread_auth(url, user, password) %URLREAD_AUTH Like URLREAD, with basic authentication % % [s,info] = urlread_auth(url, user, password) % % Returns bytes. Convert to char if you're retrieving text. % % Examples: % sampleUrl = 'http://browserspy.dk/password-ok.php'; % [s,info] = urlread_auth(sampleUrl, 'test', 'test'); % txt = char(s) % Matlab's urlread() doesn't do HTTP Request params, so work directly with Java jUrl = java.net.URL(url); conn = jUrl.openConnection(); conn.setRequestProperty('Authorization', ['Basic ' base64encode([user ':' password])]); conn.connect(); info.status = conn.getResponseCode(); info.errMsg = char(readstream(conn.getErrorStream())); s = readstream(conn.getInputStream()); function out = base64encode(str) % Uses Sun-specific class, but we know that is the JVM Matlab ships with encoder = sun.misc.BASE64Encoder(); out = char(encoder.encode(java.lang.String(str).getBytes())); %% function out = readstream(inStream) %READSTREAM Read all bytes from stream to uint8 try import com.mathworks.mlwidgets.io.InterruptibleStreamCopier; byteStream = java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream(); isc = InterruptibleStreamCopier.getInterruptibleStreamCopier(); isc.copyStream(inStream, byteStream); inStream.close(); byteStream.close(); out = typecast(byteStream.toByteArray', 'uint8'); %' catch err out = []; %HACK: quash end </code></pre>
