Hello, I already provide an implementation of nsIPrompt to mozilla from my embedding custom app, and I note that its PromptUsernameAndPassword() method is invoked when I visit a site with authentication. However, even if I hard-code correct values for username and password, I still get authorization failed: NS_IMETHODIMP CBrowserContainer::PromptUsernameAndPassword(const PRUnichar *dialogTitle, const PRUnichar *text, const PRUnichar *passwordRealm, PRUint32 savePassword, PRUnichar **user, PRUnichar **pwd, PRBool *_retval) { nsresult rv = NS_ERROR_FAILURE; nsAutoString userStr(L"correctUser"); nsAutoString pwdStr(L"correctPwd"); *user = userStr.ToNewUnicode(); *pwd = pwdStr.ToNewUnicode(); rv = NS_OK; return rv; } Can you please help me? Thanks, Ed

Can you give me a sample URL that uses authentication?

Inside the Netscape firewall, you can use http://jrgm/basic-auth (which grants access to a page that says "Congratulations").

The hardcoded implementation below works for me in the ActiveX control. Ed, did you set retval to PR_TRUE and return NS_OK in your code? /* boolean promptUsernameAndPassword (in wstring text, out wstring user, out wstring pwd); */ NS_IMETHODIMP CWebBrowserContainer::PromptUsernameAndPassword(const PRUnichar* dialogTitle, const PRUnichar *text, const PRUnichar* passwordRealm, PRUint32 savePassword, PRUnichar **user, PRUnichar **pwd, PRBool *_retval) { nsAutoString response; response.AssignWithConversion("foo"); *user = response.ToNewUnicode(); response.AssignWithConversion("bar"); *pwd = response.ToNewUnicode(); *_retval = PR_TRUE; return NS_OK; }

BTW, retval indicates whether the dialog was cancelled or not. If your code is like your original sample and does not set it, then Gecko probably thinks that the call was cancelled and sends no authentication info at all. It probably doesn't free the memory for the values you pass back either.

Yes, here's my implementation: NS_IMETHODIMP CBrowserContainer::PromptUsernameAndPassword(const PRUnichar *dialogTitle, const PRUnichar *text, const PRUnichar *passwordRealm, PRUint32 savePassword, PRUnichar **user, PRUnichar **pwd, PRBool *_retval) { nsresult rv = NS_ERROR_FAILURE; nsAutoString userStr(L"foo"); nsAutoString pwdStr(L"bar"); *user = userStr.ToNewUnicode(); *pwd = pwdStr.ToNewUnicode(); *_retval = PR_TRUE; return NS_OK; } It just hangs on this.
