This is NOT always reliable - on the handset I standardly test on I have
to retype the password/userid at regular intervals. It may be more
reliable on other phones - or it may be ip address related (of the proxy,
on subsequent requests), I am not sure.

I have also noticed more dns timeouts when I am accessing a restricted
area.
