Example for Basic Authentication

[42sol-eu]

Some Webservers use Basic Authentication for login.

How would an implementation of a test script in golem for basic authentication look like?

So technically basic authentication is not standarized by webdriver yet. See w3c/webdriver#385 and SeleniumHQ/selenium#5471. Until this is implemented you have two options basically: hardcoding the credentials into the URL or using a third party tool like autohotkey or autoit.

To use the first option just navigate to 'http://username:password@rest-of-the-url'. As this is not guaranteed to work crossbrowser I don't think it should be implemented by Golem, but it can be easily achieved with some string formatting
