[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] Assistance with Basic Authentication

[Luigi Pirelli]

Hi Richard

usually would be triggered by the signal

http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qnetworkaccessmanager.html#authenticationRequired

signal and listeners are registered here:

https://qgis.org/api/qgsnetworkaccessmanager_8cpp_source.html#l00297

cheers
Luigi Pirelli
