           Summary: webkit_web_view_load_uri does not open URIs with

           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2

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.
