Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98029

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091303

When I have finished reading group de.something.a and change - by pressing space
bar - to group de.something.b, I am asked for login and password again.
I don't let Mozilla store login/pwd, see my report #101193
Similar behaviour in 0.9.3, see my report #95001 (was marked as dup of #46118)

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, it's not really always reproducable, sometimes group changing works.

Found workaround:

If news server asks for login, I...

- go back to some last read group's article
- klick on currently interesting group/msg again, and voilà! I get the msg w/o
reentering login/pwd

It's the two groups that does it.  See my brief explanation of our URI code in
bug 98029.  Verified DUP.
