There is rumours that Webdriver specification next release would bring support for basic authentication, but that is only rumor. Unless Selenium provides the support, don’t think we are going to provide direct support.

In my humble opinion, it would be best if the whole basic authentication would die away. There are better and easier ways to do the user authentication.

Ah but that is a basic authentication dialog, right? Unfortunately selenium does not support handling basic authentication dialog. Because of this we can not do anything on the Selenium2Library side. Your best option to google around see how you can bypass the basic authentication in Safari. Here is working example for Chrome: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9888323/how-to-override-basic-authentication-in-selenium2-with-java-using-chrome-driver
