Credential::HTTP doesn't work like that.

The credentials for HTTP auth come from the browser in headers, which is 
where it'll read them from. These are then mapped by your config into 
the appropriate field to find your user with, and the password checked.

If you want to pass the username/password in manually yourself (e.g. 
from form submission), then you don't want Credential::HTTP.

Also, what do you mean by 'new Authentication', 
Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::HTTP has _always_ worked like this.
