Description
When a WFS server requires HTTP authentication, the current WFS plugin doesn't prompt the user for name/password but passes an empty string to the XML parser instead.
Would be nice to have a user/password prompt or at least a more meaningful error message to allow user to specify them as part of the url (user:pass@server)

the WFS provider should probably be ported to use QNetworkAccessManager instead of QgsHttpTransaction (like the WMS provider). That way the authentication would be handled transparently.

Hi Juergen
Thanks for the patch. I'm currently working on WFS-T support and will try to merge your patch with my changes and then commit everything together.
