 I cannot get HTTP authentication to work for WMS layers in QGIS 1.5 and
 1.6.
 It does work in QGis 1.4.

 How i expect it to behave:
 Layer->Add WMS Layer->Edit->Enter name, URL, username,
 password->Ok->Connect->Add
 When I toggle the layer active in the left “layers” panel, the WMS image
 will appear.

 How it behaves in 1.6:
 I toggle the layer active in the left “layers” panel. A new dialog will
 appear saying
 “Enter Credentials” Username….. Password….. Authentication required [OK]
 [Cancel]

 Now, when I enter the username and password *again* (I already entered
 them when defining the layer!) the WMS image will appear.

 Some extra info:
 Geoserver 2.1b3 as password protected WMS server.
 QGIS-1.6 windows stock install.
 The layer source in layers properties are in the form of:
 „username=foo,password=bar,url=http://mygeoserver:9090/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1“

 Could be related to ticket #2967
