Re: Webcams that require authentication
That all depends upon the type of authentication being employed.
Yeah, sorry. I mean HTTP basic authentication.
I've pretty much resigned myself to doing a widget that requires either an open webcam or a server-side script to do the authentication. I would even have considered using sockets for the authentication, but the HTTP servers built into most webcams don't support installation of a cross-domain policy file, which socket communications apparently require.

With HTTP basic authentication, the method described at the beginning of this thread should work in the http GET request.
