User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; fr; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081112 Camino/1.6.5 (MultiLang) (like Firefox/2.0.0.18)

Camino doesn't always ask for the password to be saved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to https://hotspot.neuf.fr/
2.Type an username and a password and check the box
3.Connect
Actual Results:  
Camino doesn't ask if I want to save the password.

Expected Results:  
Camino should ask if I want to save the password.

I think this is mainly on securised webpages.

What's going on here is that the username and password field aren't in the form that is submitted. Instead, there's a form with nothing but type="hidden" fields, and they are populated from the text fields by javascript.

Closing WONTFIX because there's no robust way of handling really bizarre edge-cases like this, and adding lots of specific one-off handling for individual sites isn't a direction we want to go.

So is there a way to manually add the entry in the keychain so I don't have to type my password each time I want to connect ?

I manually added the password to the keychain.
Safari is now filling the form, but Camino isn't.
