[Feature] - Site Login+download panel

Site Login

i think there is a misunderstanding about the feature i'm requesting. i am not asking for reading browser cookie or sessions
some file-hosting sites (for ex rapidgator or similar services) allow downloads sing HTTP authentication. in these cases:

1. The download link itself does not require logging in through a browser
2. No cookies or browser session are needed.
3. if the download manager sends the correct Authorization header (Basic or Digest auth) the server returns the direct file link or the file stream.

Download managers like IDM support this by:

1. Allowing users to Store username and password per domain (it's been added)
2. Automatically adding the Authorization header to requests
3. Sometimes sending credentials preemptively (without waiting for a 401 challenge)

because of this, for example IDM can resolve and download files from some hosts even when:

• The link is indirect
• No login page appears
• No browser cookies exist

Requested capability
support for:
Per-host stored credentials Automatic HTTP Basic/Digest authentication Optional preemptive sending of the Authorization header
this is different from: importing cookies, Reading browser sessions or Handing website login forms.

• i know that macOS isn't like windows and has its own limitations, and i also know that comparing your download manager to IDM isn't really fair bc they're a large team...

thank you for your attention and good luck <3

Thanks for the detailed explanation — that helps a lot. I understand now that you're talking specifically about per-host HTTP Basic/Digest authentication, not cookies or browser session importing.

This is a reasonable feature request and it fits the scope of a download manager. I’ll explore adding:
• stored credentials per domain
• automatic Authorization header handling
• optional preemptive auth

I want to design it in a modular way so it stays flexible and doesn’t force opinions on how people use the app. No promises on timeline yet, but it’s on my radar now. Thanks again for the thoughtful report ❤️
