I actually did this, but IE didn't behave properly. On a normal connection with Basic Auth, the browser will allow access to every link and frame accessible once you've logged in one time. However, if you pass Basic Auth headers on the Watir goto() method, the browser only allows you access to a single page, and the links and frames on the page are still not accessible. It's probably possible to hack Watir to pass Basic Auth credentials for access to every element, but it would be a big job. -Chris _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
