title: How to use file_get_contents() to retrieve a file behind Windows NT Auth
body: <p>I've got a setup in which a LAMP server needs to retrieve an output from a javascript file from another server IIS that is sitting behind Windows NT authentication.</p>
  
  <p>Without the authentication in place, I can just use <code>file_get_contents()</code> to retrive the javascript file I need.  However with Windows NT Authentication in place, this fails.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas how I can simulate the authentication process in order to allow PHP to retrieve the file?</p>
