system() asks for password

hello,

I'm passing a command to system in this fasion:

Code:

---

sprintf(command, "curl -A SAMPLE-DOWNLOADER -url \"foobar.com/pass.asp?pass=pass&user=user\" > output.tmp\n", username, password );
system (command);

---

When i run this is a terminal window, i get asked to enter a password. Hitting enter lets me continue, but i need to do it without a password getting asked. any way i can do this?

thanx, PRTSoft

why are you passing a username and password variables to sprintf() after your format string? there arent any conversion specifiers in it

Look at other ways in which curl allows you to specify username/password information

sorry i changed the text, in the original code block from what i had. here is what i HAVE:

Code:

---

sprintf(command, "curl -A SAMPLE-DOWNLOADER -url \"sermonaudio.com/xml_favorites2.asp"
"?version=2.0&UserID=%s&Pass=%s\" > sermonlist.tmp\n",
username, password );

---

this isn't a form. I am reverse enginering (with permission to do a port) a client that downloads sermon MP3s from sermonaudio.com. this is what it sends:

sermonaudio.com/xml_favorites2.asp?version=2.0&UserID=usersid&Pass =password

this supplies a list of sermons that were selected on the main site.
so i used sprintf *in hindsight maybe strcpy would have been better) to put the username and password in the URL.

If there is a better faster way to do it, i'm all ears.
