Avoid HTTP auth popup in a chrome extension (digest)

Question

I\'m currently developing a chrome extension, I need to access some http-auth protected resources (webdav). The HTTP auth is using (in the best case) a digest authentication.

Answer 1

I think this is impossible. If you are using the browser's http client then it will prompt the user for credentials on a 401.
