That will depend on how the protection is implemented.
If your server is a J2EE box with full blown Kerberos 
security it may be almost impossible. If it's a more 
conventional server like apache which is protecting 
a file or folder then you may only have to submit 
the username and password - ie login! -  or build 
that into a cookie.

If the protection is done by the application itself then 
it could be anywhere in between those two extremes.
