Directly typing the below url in the browser, it works,

http://username:p%[email protected]:80/yyyy

But, when i use the same url, for selenium webdriver tests, it is connecting to 

http://examplesite.com/yyyy

and asking for the HTTP authentication. Do i need to change any settings in the chrome browser, or tweak the default profile?

  • What are you trying to achieve by doing this ? Are you trying to login? Commented Nov 7, 2014 at 10:52
  • i have mentioned clearly in question about http url authentication. Commented Nov 7, 2014 at 10:54
  • And why exactly you are using selenium to do this ? It is a browser testing tool. Commented Nov 7, 2014 at 10:55
  • I'm gonna automate the website, in order to do that i need to get that from the server, and the server requires authentication through HTTP protocol. Commented Nov 7, 2014 at 11:00

    That is the reason why I asked you that question in the first place, what do you intend to do after login, because testing the login itself using selenium is not a good approach.You can check here -stackoverflow.com/questions/3021602/… this does not work in chrome.What page does the login brings?Does it come like a Javascript popup?

That strategy did not work for me though. However I circumvented it by using AutoIt akin to this https://stackoverflow.com/a/19374325/5059472

Plain old npm install of autoit is not enough. We need to add python to our path, as well as install visual studio community 2015 with visual c++ selected as an additional option
