Python + selenium webdriver: using authentication method

Question

I am using python + selenium webdriver to automate checks. I am stuck on websites that request HTTP authentication through a popup.

I am trying to use the "authenticate" method with the following code:

#init.
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)
#get to the auth popup window by clicking relevant link
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("login_link")
elem.click()
#use authenticate alert method
driver._switch_to.alert.authenticate("login", "password")

The (rare) information / document associated with this method indicates that it should provide the provided credentials and authenticate with http auth. This is not the case, and I get the following error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/alert.py", line 105, authenticate self.driver.execute (Command.SET_ALERT_CREDENTIALS, {'username': username, 'password': password}) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 201, execute self.error_handler.check_response (response) File "/ usr / local / lib / python2.7 / dist-packages / selenium / webdriver / remote / errorhandler.py ", line 159, in check_response raise exception_class (value) selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Unrecognized command point / Sessions / c30d03e1-3835-42f5-ace0-968aef486b36 / alerts / credentials

is there something i don't see here / did someone come up on the same issue and resolve it?

PS: http://username:password@url .
