Chris, I talked with Til in IRC and maybe for tomorrow you could
have a patch supporting this. Basically it would add the following
function to the api:
http_auth prefix_url user pass
It would set the user/pass for that prefix_url. Since .htaccess
can change for each directory, you could have different prefix_url
with the same domain, and tclwebtest would search first the longest
matching prefix, and use the user/pass directly notifying of this
in the output log.
Do you consider this ok? Maybe we left out something.
