Hi Brian
I was also facing the same problem. I have on solution to access the
password protected links.
you need to set the client for your webview.
In the webviewclient subclass override the following callback method
"onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view,HttpAuthHandler handler,
String host, String realm)"
inside this method put handler.proceed("Your username", "Your
Password");
After that the link which you have supplied will open in your webview.
