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.
