You should be able to send this with proper HTTP authentication parameters by using CURL. Something like:

	curl -u admin:hackme http://192.168.1.10:8000/admin/killclient?mount=/mystream.ogg&id=21 <http://192.168.1.10:8000/admin/killclient?mount=/mystream.ogg&id=21>

This is different from encoding the parameters as if they were part of an HTML form.

Cheers!
