Http Auth in a Firefox 3 bookmarklet

问题

I'm trying to create a bookmarklet for posting del.icio.us bookmarks to a separate account.

I tested it from the command line like:

wget -O - --no-check-certificate \
"https://seconduser:thepassword@api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add?url=http://seet.dk&description=test"

This works great.

I then wanted to create a bookmarklet in my firefox. I googled and found bits and pieces and ended up with:

javascript:void(
    open('https://seconduser:password@api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add?url='
          +encodeURIComponent(location.href)
          +'&description='+encodeURIComponent(document.title),
          'delicious','toolbar=no,width=500,height=250'
        )
    );

But all that happens is that I get this from del.icio.us:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<result code="access denied" />
<!-- fe04.api.del.ac4.yahoo.net uncompressed/chunked Thu Aug  7 02:02:54 PDT 2008 -->

If I then go to the address bar and press enter, it changes to:

<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<result code="done" />
<!-- fe02.api.del.ac4.yahoo.net uncompressed/chunked Thu Aug  7 02:07:45 PDT 2008 -->

Any ideas how to get it to work directly from the bookmarks?

Can you sniff the traffic to find what's actually being sent? Is it sending any auth data at all and it's incorrect or being presented in a form the server doesn't like, or is it never being sent by firefox at all?

@travis Looks very nice! I will sure take a look into it. I can think of several places I can use that

I never got round to sniff the traffic but found out that a php site on my own server with http-auth worked fine, so i figured it was something with delicious. I then created a php page that does a wget of the delicious api and everything works fine :)

I'd recommend checking out the iMacros addon for Firefox. I use it to login to a local web server and after logging in, navigate directly to a certain page. The code I have looks like this, but it allows you to record your own macros:

VERSION BUILD=6000814 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://10.20.2.4/login
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:introduce ATTR=NAME:initials CONTENT=username-goes-here
SET !ENCRYPTION NO
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=NAME:introduce ATTR=NAME:password CONTENT=password-goes-here
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:introduce ATTR=NAME:Submit&&VALUE:Go
URL GOTO=http://10.20.2.4/timecard

I middle click on it and it opens a new tab and runs the macro taking me directly to the page I want, logged in with the account I specified.

Does calling the method twice work?

Seems to me that your authentication is being approved after the content arrives, so then a second attempt now works because you have the correct cookies.
