Im after a javascript bod to do a tiny it of coding for me.
I basicly have a script that connects to cameras and pulls the jpg feed direct from the camera, but i need the script to pass the user name and password for the camera (basic auth)
Anyone think they could sort it?

It's fairly simple if it's http authentication. I believe you write the URL in this format:
http://username assword@url.com/image.jpg
I think you could even do a mod_rewrite to hide the username and pass.

Yeah that was an option but IE blocks http auth with ie7 & 8 , you can get around it with a reg hack but not really what I want to do!

Does your webcam not store the image in a non-protected folder anywhere? I know with ours when I've done similar I've found the image located on the cam's web server and got at it with no authentication.
I suppose another method would be to 'hack' into the webcam's server and get rid of the .htaccess entry which is protecting the folder with the image in it.

You could make a page for the image and use PHP or something to handle the authentication?

I don't think you can do what you want to do with plain Javascript though...
