I would like to the HTTPCaller to get info from a municipality website. I have an account on the website. It is my email address. But in reading some questions on here, it is not possible to send the username if it is an email (something with the '@' sign). Does anybody know if there's a workaround?
Question

I'm not aware of any particular problems in using the @-sign? Do you get an error message? How is the username sent (basic auth, headers, URL...?)

There are different methods to authenticate throw HTTPCaller.
This an example of authenticating throw a POST message with an URL.
Alternatively you can authenticate throw a header or using Basic/Digest/NTLM by checking the Use Authentication and setting username and password there.
In a Chrome browser press Ctrl+Shift+J before entering your user and password on that site, go to Network, login to the site, and check the links that the process takes you throw. Based on the login link you can reproduce the process in FME.
