Missing support for HTTP authentication prompts

csnover:

There is currently no way to handle HTTP authentication prompts when navigating to a page, only pre-authentication with username/password in the URL works (and, apparently, not without workarounds in some browsers like IE).

@andreastt Any chance we can prioritise this please?

[andreastt]

@haroon-sheikh It is scheduled for level 2 of the specification, so we will likely discuss this at the next F2F in November. However, implementors are currently focussing on level 1 conformance.

As of now this can be solved by WinAppDriver
