PhantomJS doesn't send authentication header

Question

I\'m trying to open a web page which requires HTTP authentication, in PhantomJS. My script is based off the loadspeed.js example:

var page = require(\'webpag

I dont think there is anything wrong with the script your using or phantomjs (at least in v1.5).

If you try this script:

var page = require('webpage').create(),
    system = require('system'),
    t, address;

page.settings.userName = 'test';
page.settings.password = 'test';

if (system.args.length === 1) {
    console.log('Usage: loadspeed.js ');
    phantom.exit();
} else {
    t = Date.now();
    address = system.args[1];
    page.open(address, function (status) {
        if (status !== 'success') {
            console.log('FAIL to load the address');
        } else {
            t = Date.now() - t;
            console.log('Page title is ' + page.evaluate(function () {
                return document.title;
            }));
            console.log('Loading time ' + t + ' msec');
        }
        phantom.exit();
    });
}

phantomjs loadspeed.js http://browserspy.dk/password-ok.php

The auth is successful.
