title: GreaseMonkey script to auto login using HTTP authentication
body: <p>I've got quite a few GreaseMonkey scripts that I wrote at my work which automatically log me into the internal sites we have here.  I've managed to write a script for nearly each one of these sites except for our time sheet application, which uses HTTP authentication.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can use GreaseMonkey to log me into this site automatically?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I am aware of the store password functionality in browsers, but my scripts go a step further by checking if I'm logged into the site when it loads (by traversing HTML) and then submitting a post to the login page.  This removes the step of having to load up the site, entering the login page, entering my credentials, then hitting submit</p>
