I think this code looks fine.

> In expect,when visit a website with basic authentication,browser should given user a dialog to input username and password.if username and password is correct,the page will dispaly.if username and password is incorrect,browser  should given user a dialog again until user inputs a right username and password or cancel the visit.

I guess the behaviour also depends on how many times the server will send back a 401 response, before it sends an error page. Have you tried other sites? How does other browsers behave on your test site?
