Basic Authentication

[Chris Kennedy]

I have an XML file which I access from a remote server like

Set http = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
http.open "GET","http://www.andrewlouis.co.uk/viewcountries.xml",false
http.send
strXML = http.responseText

The real server is password protected with, I think, with basic
authentication. How do I pass it the username and password.
