Not sure what kind of backend you use. But here is an npm packets that could be used for inspiration. Probably some dependencies are deprecated. https://github.com/4O4/node-mtasa/tree/master The authOptions: https://github.com/4O4/node-mtasa/blob/aeac8ab9417a7b6a65f117491d1e648a6ad62422/src/client.ts#L107C17-L107C28 Using it in request: https://github.com/4O4/node-mtasa/blob/aeac8ab9417a7b6a65f117491d1e648a6ad62422/src/client.ts#L62 But under the hood (in JS) it is something like this: const credentials = `${username}:${password}`; const encodedCredentials = Buffer.from(credentials).toString('base64'); const result = "Authorization: Basic " + encodedCredentials The header is: Authorization The value is something like: Basic bWlqblVzZXI6Z2VoZWltV2FjaHR3b29yZA==

It should be for security concerns. You wouldn't want to visit a site that is designed to look for 'new functions' and starts call them. If you take a look at this page: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Meta.xml You can see that it is possible to call an export function over http What syntax do you need for calling an export function? http://<your IP>:<your port>/<resource_name>/call/<exported_function_name> https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource_Web_Access How does authentication works? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication#Client_side A 'basic' authentication should the way to go. It requires login credentials of an MTA user account with the correct permissions. This has to be passed every request. When you connect through the browser: http://127.0.0.1:22005/resourcebrowser/ You more or less understand what to expect. There is also a section about 'Router', which is new.

This is the opposite of what you are trying to achieve, but probably still useful. Fetching from MTA to remote host Creating a MTA user (installation_s.lua) that only has the correct permissions.
