Oscar, In my experience, the easiest thing to do is to hack up your "goto" method to allow for an option that doesn't wait for the page to load before passing back control to your script. Then, assuming you can get your username and password saved in your browser, you can just use AutoIT to send an "Enter" keystroke to clear the dialog with a successful login.
There's a patch (the larger) attached to this issue that contains such a code change and allows you to use the syntax below for the "goto" method: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-146 NOTE: This will not work without aforementioned patch! @application_base = "http://yoursite.com"; $ie.goto(@application_base, :wait => false) sleep 7 @autoit = WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control') @autoit.Send "{ENTER}" @autoit = nil sleep 5 Once you get that working, you could experiment with using AutoIT or the WinClicker that comes with Watir (I've never really been able to get this to work, but YMMV) to populate usernames and passwords in the dialog. Maybe someone else can give an example . . .
