[webkit-help] WebKit authentication prompts even if http://user:pass at host used

[Barry Scott]

I'm seeing unexpected behaviour from WebKit when I ask for a URI with
user and password in it to be loaded. The Soap "authentication" signal is
issued.

Given that the user and password where part of the URI I did not expect
soap "authenticate" to be called.

Is this expected? If not then what is supposed to ensure that the user
and password from the URI is used?
