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.

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
