websucker.py versus password-protected web tree

[John van der Koijk]

Dear readers,

I'm out of luck trying to mirror a certain web-tree which is protected
by a password-username combination. Don't know how the protocol works
and when I use a browser I get something like this:


        Name                    Last modified       Size  Description
  __________________________________________________________________________

 [DIR]  Parent Directory        01-Oct-1999 12:26      -

 [DIR]  limited/                05-Oct-1999 20:04      -

- I know the username and password ;-)

Websucker seems unable to cope with this and I can't find relevant
references in the urllib docs. Any pointers? Should I alter the URL?
