I'm running 6 tests: {async, sync} x {correct name/pw, omit name/pw args,
incorrect name/pw} and I get these results in IE6, Fx, and Safari nightly:

         Sync Correct   Sync Blank   Sync Incorrect   Async Correct   Async
Blank   Async Incorrect   
IE6          no                  yes                   no                  no  
                 yes                  no
Fx2          no                  yes                  yes                 no   
                yes                  yes
Saf           no                  no                   no                  no  
                 yes                  yes

Also testing with pre-authentication from
http://www.mnot.net/javascript/xmlhttprequest/ I get:

         Sync Pre-auth   Async Pre-auth
IE6          no                   no
Fx2          no                  no
Saf          no                   no

It would be nice if all browsers had an API for disabling the authentication
dialog. Automated tests of XMLHttpRequest authentication are very difficult
otherwise.
