Hello

I need to index a site which is protected by a user/password.

The only way I've found to set a user/passwd is to modify rundig to call
htdig with the option '-u user:passwd'.

The problem is that rundig is clobbered by every upgrade of htdig.
(rundig is not a configuration file).

Ideally, we should be able to specify a user/passwd for all the
URL (or host) specified in the 'start_url' parameter of htdig.conf.

So could you enhance htdig.conf and runfig so we can specify a user/passwd ?

Thanks
