Viewing rdar urls requires having Radar, an internal apple tool.
Perhaps, I should not have included the URL. I did so for the
benefit for those few on this list with Radar access.
My apologies for any confusion.

Hi Eric
Thanks for confirming this.
BTW what client do I use to view rdar: URLs? I tried Safari but it
doesn't recognize the protocol.
Cheers

I believe this is a known issue:
<rdar://problem/4335156> XMLHttpRequest ignores username/password
passed to open()
I need to go ahead and move that radar into bugzilla (or you
should feel free to file one!), which will make it easier (for
someone other than me) to fix.
I don't know of any work-arounds.

Hi,
I'm developing a DHTML application that interacts with a REST API
that uses either HTTP Basic or Digest authentication. I'd like
to provide a login form that uses XHR to authenticate the user
before the actual request for a protected resource is sent.
The problem is that XHR does not handle the server's
authentication challenge, delegating the work to the browser
which shows the HTTP auth dialog. I've tired various approaches
such as including the username and password in the URL e.g.
http://<username>:<password>@host/path but none of these seem to
work.
The form's onsubmit handler is shown below, a complete test case
with a PHP server-side implementation attached. I've tried the
test case both on Safari 417.8 and the webkit nightly build. The
test case works fine on Firefox.
Is this a limitation of webkit's XHR implementation or is there
another way to do HTTP auth with it that I'm missing?
Cheers
Adam
function login() {
var url = loginForm.action;
var username = document.getElementById("username").value;
var password = document.getElementById("password").value;
var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
http.open("get", url, false, username, password);
http.send("");
}
