Hi,

I'm trying to do basic authentication to view a protected url. I want to access the protected url which looks like this:

http://api.test.com/userinfo/vid?=1234

So I do the following with a WebView:

mWebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword("api.test.com", "", "john", "password123");
mWebView.loadUrl("http://api.test.com/userinfo/vid?=1234");

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

Thanks
