[drupal-devel] Clean URL test causing problems

Greetings, The new clean URL test[1] in 4.6 causes problems for sites using HTTP auth. The call to /system/test through drupal_http_request() fails because the username/password is unknown to Drupal. Can anyone think of something that can be done to make the test work behind HTTP auth? [1] http://drupal.org/node/12384 -- Tim Altman
