Hi Jacek,

My understanding is that we should ask for IAuthenticate interface on BSC and let it handle the authentication. GUI asking for credentials is likely something that urlmon needs to do in response to some return values from Authenticate, but I don't know that without testing it myself. Then there is a question if MSHTML should implement IAuthenticate, but it may not matter in your case (depending on the answer to above).
If you didn't already, I would suggest to write a test and experiment. I know that tests involving GUI may not be something for the tree (well, unless in interactive mode), but maybe with testing IAuthenticate it would be possible to test the rest of the stack.
My current WIP patch with both interactive and non-interactive tests is attached, non-interactive tests pass, interactive ones - not yet. I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions.
