Never seen this done... don't think you can do it. 401 challenges don't allow specification of a default users AFAIK.

Thanks Dave for your reply.. Well i solve the problem in a different way, i just call the site with username(the default username i wanted) and a fake password.

For example,

http://dave:[e-mail].

This will validate the given username and password and upon finding the wrong password the authentication pop-up window will show the username "dave"

Thanks again.
