[Webtest] using http authentication with webtest

[Carsten Seibert]

Hi Donald

You should be able to provide a username and password for basic
authentication with the <invoke> step like:

	<invoke stepid="Access a page with password identification"
		url="mypage"
		username="${username}"
		password="${password}" />

I will update the documentation with an example asap. Since the selfTest
servlet/web setup does currently not support basic authentication as well as
https, there are not integrated usage examples (yet).

But have a look at doc/samples/ssl in the distribution which provides an
experimental sample for accessing a page via HTTPS including basic
authentication.

Ciao,
Carsten
