How to send HTTP request with authentication basic?

Question

I'm using SOCKET (WINSOCK2.H) to connect to IP camera. After connect, I want to send the command "GET /nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Standard HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n" to get video stream. But this command is not successful because the camera is protected by authentication basic.

Now, I want to insert into request command username and password but i don't know the syntax to do it.

You'd do yourself a favour using something like libcurl rather than trying to implement HTTP yourself. Since you appear to be using win32, you could even look into using WinINet. — James M
