15           my $url = 'http://www.example.org/protected_page.html';

27               print "It worked!->", $response->code, "\n";
28           }
29           else {

DESCRIPTION

34       "LWP::Authen::Wsse" allows LWP to authenticate against servers that are
35       using the "X-WSSE" authentication scheme, as required by the Atom
36       Authentication API.
37
38       The module is used indirectly through LWP, rather than including it
39       directly in your code.  The LWP system will invoke the WSSE
40       authentication when it encounters the authentication scheme while
41       attempting to retrieve a URL from a server.
42
43       You also need to set the credentials on the UserAgent object like this:
44
45          $ua->credentials('www.company.com:80', '', "username", "password");
46
47       Alternatively, you may also subclass LWP::UserAgent and override the
48       "get_basic_credentials()" method.  See LWP::UserAgent for more details.
