Hi,
My problem is the following:
I use a software named shutter, which is a software allowing me to shutdown my computer remotely. This software is installed on my computer at home and works as server.
The way to use it is to enter the url in any browser like this http://ip:Port and a page is loaded with two fields, username and password, allowing me to be authenticated on my server remotely.
From a normal computer, I tried with IE and firefox and it works fine.
Thus, I tried with my mobile phone using IE mobile and opera mobile 9.5 and impossible to reach the server. However with an Iphone (safari) it works.
it seems that shutter uses an http authentication and I don't know why it doesn't work on ie+opera mobile. Wrong setting? not supported? By looking on msdn it seems that http authentication is supported by IE.
Anyway, do you have an idea on how to set my browser to reach my server?
Thanks
