I'd like to mess around with PHP and del.icio.us, but I can't seem to figure out how to do HTTP authenticaiton with PHP. I need to send a) the request for the page and b) the http authentication info. I've found out how to do the authentication header, but not the request itself.

header("Authorization: Basic base64string");

where base64string is my del.icio.us username and password base64 encoded in the format usernameassword. My question is...how do I go about sending the request for the page right before that?

That was stupid of me.

$alltags = file("http://username:password@del.icio.us/api/tags/get?");

K.I.S.S. !!
