Sorry for cross posting but I spawned this thread on Watir general as
well

Hi,

   <code>
    autoit = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
    Thread.new(autoit) do
      sleep 1
      autoit.WinWait("Authentication Required", "")
      autoit.Send(username)
      autoit.Send("{TAB}")
      autoit.Send(password)
      autoit.Send("{ENTER}")
     end
     self.goto(url)
   <code>

I think autoit.WinWait executes faster than browser.goto => a hang. We
need a sleep even if it is only for 0.1 secs

I don't think we need to explicitly create another thread for
self.goto as it is already in one.
