Build Identifier: Camino 2003051705

This page requires authentication and Camino brings up a sheet to enter username/pw. If you 
don't know the password (I don't), you can't get out of this. OK or cancel both cause the sheet to 
reappear. This seems to block all further activity in Camino, including Quit! 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL above.
2. The page will be drawn and a username/password sheet will appear.
3. Press OK or Cancel.
4. The sheet will reappear. 
Actual Results:  
Nothing other than going back to step 3 is possible in Camino unless you force quit.
looks like the main doc links lots of image files that are all in a password
protected area (including but not limited to http://www.scottvw.com/images/)

its not infinite... it just feels that way but the the dialogs stopped after
LOTS of hitting escape/cancel.

same goes for moz so switching products

bug still exists.. was hit with it a week or two ago... not on the submitted
link of course.

I'll see if I can find it or dummy up a page quickly


reopening with new URL.

Testcase linked to is a page that links to 10 different images in a protected
subdirectory.

at no point in the series of 10 dialogs can you interrupt, you just have to
cancel through all 10. At 10 it becomes a chore, at 50 it becomes a denial of use.

I'll attach an archive of the files used in a minute, but the test does require
apache & .htaccess privs.

An ideal solution might be to have Cancel remove the remembered password.
10 years later... problem appears fixed. Dialog stops displaying after Cancel button.
