The setBasicAuth function causes the Akamai NetSession Interface to supply a user name and password for HTTP basic authentication when contacting the origin HTTP server.

The dlmContainer and startDLM HTML elements are already defined in this page.

Click the Start download link to run the demonstration. You can pause and restart the download. If you haven't installed the NetSession client, you'll be prompted to download and install it first.
