Basic auth (native popup) support

[masterjg]

Just tried to create a new entry (type Website)

But whenever going to the website with same URL I see HTTP basic authentication fields asking me to input username and password. Does buttercup not support that type of login?

I haven't looked into how Buttercup might handle basic authentication - the popup is problematic because it blocks the UI and doesn't form part of the page.

How would you expect Buttercup to work in this case? We could intercept the request and provide auth but I suspect we'd have to know what credentials to use before the request occurs.
