Making basic auth work with webrat and mechanize

[knifhen]

Hi,

I have made some changes to webrat to make the basic_auth method work with the mechanize adapter.
I have also added the possibility to configure follow redirects for mechanize.

It would be awesome if you want to merge my changes and make it public.

Hey Andreas, I made these changes to webrat 0.7.2 and it works for basic_auth with mechanize 1.0.0, but the ability to follow redirects seems to be broken. Please let me know if I can assist with troubleshooting. I'm sort of new to all of this.

In my env.rb I have added the following. So if you can add the corresponding config with follow_redirects = true it should work

Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :mechanize
config.follow_redirects = true
end

That worked great. Thanks a bunch!
