I looked into this a long time ago, and there is no way to persist a Basic Auth session in a browser. You have to have credentials for every page request and every frame within every page. I was hacking around deep in the guts of Watir trying to make this work and failed.
Nor do I know of any other tool that makes this possible. There might be something fancy you could do in multiple libraries used by Watir, but I did not have that kind of mandate. I suggest a well-designed set of manual tours. -Chris On Oct 27, 1:53 pm, Aedorn Varanis <aed...@gmail.com> wrote: > This doesn't really solve the problem. > > On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 1:09 PM, aidy lewis <aidy.le...@googlemail.com>wrote: > > > > > Can you not set your trusted uri's in about:config > > > network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris ? > > > Aidy > > > 2009/10/27 Aedorn Varanis <aed...@gmail.com>: > > > I took a look around but it doesn't like there's any answer to this.
