Using WebView setHttpAuthUsernamePassword?
<p>I'm trying to do basic authentication to view a protected url. I want to access the protected url which looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>http://api.test.com/userinfo/vid?=1234
</code></pre>

<p>So I do the following with a WebView:</p>

<pre><code>mWebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword("api.test.com", "", "me@test.com", "mypassword");
mWebView.loadUrl("http://api.test.com/userinfo/user?uid=53461");
</code></pre>

<p>but the authentication doesn't seem to work, I'm just getting an output error page. Am I using the WebView method correctly here?</p>

<p>Update:
Trying with curl:</p>

<pre><code>curl -u me@test.com:mypassword http://api.test.com/userinfo/user?uid=53461
</code></pre>

<p>and it pulls the page fine. I tried every combination of the host parameter, the owners of the api don't know what I mean by 'realm' though (and neither do I) - what info could I give them to help this along?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
