When a WFS server requires HTTP authentication, the current WFS plugin doesn't prompt the user for name/password but passes an empty string to the XML parser instead.

Would be nice to have a user/password prompt or at least a more meaningful error message to allow user to specify them as part of the url (user:pass@server)

the WFS provider should probably be ported to use QNetworkAccessManager instead of [[QgsHttpTransaction]] (like the WMS provider). That way the authentication would be handled transparently.

Hi Juergen

Thanks for the patch. I'm currently working on WFS-T support and will try to merge your patch with my changes and then commit everything together.
