1243269 - HTTP auth dialog for NSURLAuthenticationMethodNTLM auth method

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Johnson (:alex_johnson)]

My school's portal system uses a HTTP auth dialog for login, but it doesn't not open on Firefox for iOS. 

I am reporting this on behalf of my roommate who initially experienced this issue.  

It's an iPhone 5c running iOS 9.2.1.

On the URL above, on tap of `Login` (in the upper right), I am directed to a login form. I don't see an auth dialog?

Ah.  Apparently, it uses HTTP auth when you try to login while connected to the local network.  It uses the form when logging in from somewhere else.
