Ok, no problem.  will let you know when it's ready for you.

Ok, it's fine with me. We will do that.
You can remove the size_t as long as you pass null terminated string.
The size_t were there because I was thinking calling the dialogue 
directly, and this dialogue should have returned the user/pass in
the char* that I will have allocated, so it's why I provided the 
buffer size. But with the way you suggested it's not required.

The call will be guiGetEvent( guiGetUser, http_auth)
Where http_auth contains the realm and the remote hostname.
The realm is the name of the space that the user try to access.
The dialogue can display something like this:

"You need to supply a username and a password to access this site"
"Site:  <The realm passed as arg> at <the remote hostname>"

No problem, do what you have to do first, especially if you can get money
for that ;)
