I don't suppose any of the PHP programmers reading this know an easy way to load the content of external pages using HTTP authentication, do you? Aside from in the URL line. That would come in really handy.

Meanwhile, I've just made myself the world's greatest eggplant, butternut squash and honey soup. This has nothing to do with e-learning or Elgg, but I needed to share. Yum.

*Update:* thanks Misja, that's exactly what I was looking for!
