Auth prompt for basic HTTP authentication is supported by browser, not extension or
application. If server send correct header (WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secure Area")
browser should open username/password prompt.
If not it means browser issue or incorrect headers sent from server as response.

Anyway always You can set request header like "Authorization: Basic YWFhOmJiYg==" where
YWFhOmJiYg== is base64 encoded string from >>login:password<<

If you type Authorization in headers form and focus on value field You will see "Construct"
popup. When You click it helper program will open to create proper auth header value.
