History

#3 Updated by Luke Murphey about 8 years ago

It looks like some people are using addCustomRequestHeader to just add the HTTP auth header

#6 Updated by Luke Murphey about 8 years ago

This throws the exception seen in https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/453

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd")

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
alert = wait.until(expected_conditions.alert_is_present())
alert.authenticate("user", "passwd")

#7 Updated by Luke Murphey about 8 years ago

This works:

from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()

driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile)
driver.get("https://user:passwd@httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd")
