You've got two options (assuming the remote server accepts HTTP basic authentication):

you can prepend the url with username:password@url(e.g.
p_url:='http://username:[email protected]/';)
or you can use the Authorization header. (e.g.
utl_http.set_header(req, 'Authorization', 'Basic ' || utl_encode.base64_encode('username:password'));)

I have this code when i run this I get credentials error. How to give credentials .The authentication is set to windows in the https page. Means pop up will appear to get the credentials

declare
      req    UTL_HTTP.REQ;
      resp   UTL_HTTP.RESP;
      value  varchar2(1024);
      p_url  varchar2(4000);
      OPT    varchar2(1000);
    BEGIN
      dbms_output.put_line('');
      p_url:='http://www.xyz.com/';

      dbms_output.put_line(p_url);
      req := UTL_HTTP.begin_REQUEST(p_url);
      utl_http.set_header(req, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');

      resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
      loop
         utl_http.read_line(resp, value, true);
         dbms_output.put_line(value);
      end loop;

    exception
        when utl_http.end_of_body then
           utl_http.end_response(resp);
