It should work. Could you post the version of Steadyflow and the link you're trying to download?

I can verify this bug with steadyflow 0.1.7-2ubuntu1

Download starts with Connecting then changes to download stopped: network error (authentication required)

FWIW wget requires passwords are set in a config file which is a bit of a pain, hopefully there a nice GUI for Steadyflow :)

Same here with 1.7-bzr from the PPA. This partially overlaps with adding support for HTTP auth headers via DBus API, much code could be re-used.

Since I stumbled over this again, another idea: what if SteadyFlow uses GNOME keyring aka libsecret to lookup the login? I would happily make Midori use the same lookup (currently WIP) and Epiphany could do the same, maybe also other browsers.
