[Webtest] Authorization

[Jan Schroeder]

Sorry, I think I was wrong. It is possible that the username:password in 
the url is just a shortcut that the browsers understand.
The browser might then just issue a regular http request and put the 
username + password in the request header.
Not sure about this but it sounds reasonable, doesn't it?

Just use the 'username' and 'password' attribute of the 'invoke' element 
in your web test.

This should be the right way to do this anyway....
