Hi,
I assume you mean you are talking to a https server and wishes
to programmatically send username/password per http's 'basic
authentication'.
You can do this with M2Crypto, a Python interface to OpenSSL:
/usr/local/home/ngps:$ python
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Sep 4 1999, 15:09:59) [GCC 2.7.2.1] on freebsd2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> from M2Crypto import urllib2
>>> u=urllib2.urlopen('https://ngps:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9443')
>>> for data in u.readlines():
... print data
...

It Worked!

The M2Crypto https server is successfully installed on this web site.

BTW, the web server I'm testing against in the above example is
also built with M2Crypto.
