82475 - Submitting a POST form to a passworded CGI looses the data

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 44536

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Scott James Remnant]

Submitting a form using the POST method to a CGI script results in an empty
submission if the CGI script is initially blocked by a password box (tested with
Basic Authentication).

The form data is obviously either not being saved or not being sent on the
second request (with a user entered username and password).

Scott please give us a testcase or link to a site which this doesn't work.
Otherwise we cant do much with this bug.

Scoot, since I don't know what build you're using presumably this is a duplicate
of "HTTP POST fails after http authentication".

If you're seeing this with a recent build (one newer than May 16, so either a
recent nightly or 0.9.1 or 0.9.2), please feel free to reopen.

In the future, could you use
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html to report bugs?  That
will help you to write good bug reports.

Thanks for using Mozilla and reporting bugs!
