Basic Authentication in Firefox from within robotframework #164
Description
I have a problem to log in on Firefox 18 with basic authentication.
I googled the below workaround, but i do not understand how i need to integrate this solution in robotframework.
It seems i need to use the Selenium webdriver for this, but how do i call this upfront, and what about the "Library Selenium2Library" in my testcase-file .
Can i call this code upfront, and use this selenium-object as a variable in my testcase file?
[workaround]
Firefox 17 'username:password' (RFC1738) processing is disallowed by default in Firefox (it had worked earlier). However, I've found that it can be re-enabled by:
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.negotiate-auth.trusteduris", hostname);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http:// + username + ":"
+ password + "@"
+ hostname + ":" + port + baseUrl);
Works on Selenium 2.28.0, Firefox 17; used for DigestAuth login.

i found a solution on the net which is more elegant:
This option is not supported on SeleniumLibrary.
Since i'm using ant java task to start robotframework , the above method is not usable anyhow (it seems my classpath is not correct, and therefore roboframework cannot find the selenium-server.jar). That is the reason why i start Selenium server (standalone) upfront before my robotframework testcases , and in there you can define the optional parameter "firefoxProfileTemplate":

Is this still an issue?
If so, would you please open a new task?
Thanks!
