Making KWT cron jobs more secure

    Hi all, I'm new on these forums but I've been using the keyword tracker for a few months now and think its great, in fact it's the only SEO tool I consistently use, although I'm still a bit lax about remembering to check it, so I've now set up a cron job to do it for me once a week.

    It all works well and good, using cURL on my web host's server, but as far as I understand by default cURL doesn't use any username/password hashing (i.e. only uses Basic HTTP Authentication) and I'm wondering if the check can be made a bit more secure by specifying another authentication method in the cURL parameters, for example cURL supports Digest and Negotiate Authentication. Does the Digital Point server support these protocols? Will this work? Sorry if this is dumb question but I don't know much about server software or HTTP authentication.

    Sorry, the keyword tracker isn't setup for any other authentication method.
