Thank you, Marc, for this information. Does this mean that WebTest (or HtmlUnit) will currently request every page twice if authentication is required: The first time without authentication (which fails), and then after the failure give it another try with the user name? Sounds like quite some unnecessary load and wasted time to me.
Do you know if this issue is already addressed at HtmlUnit?

A workaround consist into explicitly set the authentication header as request header to be sent for all requests.
