Basic Authotecation for Snapshot in Browser?

[BGChicago]

Hello hive minds,
Does anyone know at what firmware level Dahua disabled basic authentication for snapshots? (http://usernameassword@IP_Address/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi)

Alternatively, is there a way to create a snapshot to FTP on request only via SSH or some sort of browser HTML call?

Note the "?" at the end of the URL

FWIW, I have an Amcrest (re-branded Dahua) IP2M-841 that provides a snapshot using the above URL with Chrome and Firefox but not IE11.
The Amcrest f/w is from August of last year: Software VersionV2.420.AC00.18.R, Build Date: 2019-08-03

The ? is for additional parameters. For NVR, ?channel=X etc.

IE11 blocks basic authentication. I can also get it to work in a browser without a loging popup but after I wireshark-ed I realized that the browsers are smart enough to translate the user and pass in the URL to a digest authentication.

Bump.
