title: Basic auth for images no longer works in WebView on Android 4.4 (kitkat)?
body: <p>In <code>WebView</code>, I am displaying a html page that contains images that needs <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication" rel="nofollow">basic authentication</a>. For that I am using <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebViewClient.html#onReceivedHttpAuthRequest%28android.webkit.WebView,%20android.webkit.HttpAuthHandler,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String%29" rel="nofollow"><code>onReceivedHttpAuthRequest</code></a> with <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/HttpAuthHandler.html#proceed%28java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String%29" rel="nofollow"><code>handler.proceeed</code></a>. It is working well on Android 4.3 (and even on Android 2.3.3+).</p>
  
  <p>However, it does not work on Android 4.4 (kitkat), the method <code>onReceivedHttpAuthRequest</code> is not called. Any hints how to make it work?</p>
