username:pwd@url in IE 9 doesn't work even after registry edit and security zone changes

This is a sort of a URL which I need to use to automate my application using Selenium RC, http://user:[email protected].

My question: Is this format really supported by IE 9? I can see it works perfectly in FF. This works same in IE with the webdriverobject.get("url") method, but what happens in RC?

Things I did to fix

  1. Change of security settings identical to all zones.
  2. Added the iexplore to 0 in regedit. MS fixit didn't work either.
  3. Spent almost a day googling for solutions.

Nothing worked.

Internet Explorer does not support username & password in URL. Refer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489

To handle authentication popup in IE you have to use third party tool like AutoIt or Robot class. I tried it successfully using java Robot class:

driver.get("http://www.test.com");
StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection("password");
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(stringSelection, null);
Robot robot = new Robot();
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();

alert.sendKeys("username");
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB); 
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);  
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); 
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V); 
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
 try {
 (new Robot()).keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
  (new Robot()).keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
  } catch (AWTException e) {

 e.printStackTrace();
}
//alert.accept();
Thread.sleep(2000);
