Is there a way to pass a username/password using the webcams plugin? I am using a D-Link DCS-900 webcam with built in server. To keep the whole world from seeing this camera, a username and password are defined. However when I enter the URL in the webcams.xml file, it comes up with "error reading camera".
I have tried the format "http://username:password@192.168.0.63/Image.jpg" but this doesn't work either. I know that IE gave up on passing usernames and passwords in URLs several versions ago. But I was hoping that the webcams plugin had no such constraint. Perhaps the problem is in the DCS-900 web server and it may not be able to accept username/password in this manner.
Any clues?
