Re: Basic Auth with GWT

Hmm, yeah, I know that the dialog pops up, if an "authorization
required" response arrives, normally. Just how do I trigger the whole
thing? If I use RequestBuilder, I can send a getRequest, and set an
appropriate response header on the server. Just that then I have to
deal with it manually in my Callback, so I don't know how to trigger
the popup then and direct all further processing back to the browser.
If try start off with a normal servlet, I just get a "your module may
need to be (re)compiled" error, when redirecting to the GWT-Module
after successful login... At least in Dev-Mode... Besides, that this
is not very elegant, disconnecting the login completely from the
module... I'd rather trigger the GWT-Module somehow to use the native
browser authorization and use the login data afterwards...

PS: I'm using https ;-)
