OK, I've done that, and I get authorization = '', whereas I do get the
proper name and password when I use Firefox.

I got a "200 No content" error, so it looks like that isn't working
either, because I got a simple page up in Firefox.

Is it common for mobile phones or networks to be broken this way? If so
could the plugin be rewritten to use a form for password entry instead?
