HTTP interface password

[x32]

I'm trying to update my old HTTP interface scripts to work with the latest version of VLC, version 2.26 Umbrella. As I understand it I am required to use a password now.

All my old commands seem to work fine once logged in. Working example.

Code: Select all

http://127.0.0.1:8080/requests/status.xml?command=pl_pause

Is there a way to log in with a url? Here is a non-working example.

Code: Select all

http://127.0.0.1:8080/?username=&password=mypassword

The way to pass HTTP credentials depends on the HTTP client.

How would you do it just using Firefox? The commands I've been using for years still work but now it needs to log in every time.
