Description Valerio Messina 2010-07-06 06:12:42 PDT
I'm trying to open a web site that require authentication.
If I open the uri: "proto://addr" it open a user+pass dialog box, filling the data, open the auth pages correcly.
But going directly to the uri "proto://user:pass@addr", say error:

---
Unable to load page

Problem occurred while loading the URL "proto://user:pass@addr"

URL cannot be shown
Try again
---

I'm expecting webkit automatically send the user+pass when arrive an auth request from server.
This simplify the code and user interaction.

my deb package is:
libwebkit-dev 1.2.0-1
I do not know how to recover webkit version (528+ is wrong)

take care that user can contain a @, as often the email are used.
Parsing uri to extract address, should start from last char, and stop to the first @ encountered
