I have used something like this to get status information from my
ADSL-modem. I don't know if it is the right thing, but it has worked for
me.
(defvar telewell-default-auth
`(("192.168.0.254:80"
("WebAdmin" . ,(base64-encode-string "admin:password"))))
"Default authorization data for Telewell ADSL modem.")
(defun telewell-get-data ()
(let* ((url-show-status nil)
(url-basic-auth-storage 'telewell-default-auth)
(buf (url-retrieve-synchronously
"http://192.168.0.254/adsl.asp";)))
(when buf
...)))
