104351 - password / logon dialog not shown

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62108

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Bruce Robson]

I have an HTML page on disk that includes an image loaded via HTTP from a server
that requires me to logon. If I load this HTML page without having previously
authenticated with the server during this browser session, then the password /
logon dialog is not shown and the image is not loaded. If I have previously
authenticated with the server then the image does load.

This occurs both when
a) the SRC= part of the IMG tag contains a relative URL and I have specified the
server using the HREF= part of the BASE tag
b) the complete URL is in the SRC= part of the IMG tag

I'm running Mozilla 0.9.4 under WINNT 4.0 SP6a

Bruce: Could you please attach a testcase?

Attachment: test case - only works within my company's Intranet

To make a test case you need to know the URL of an image that needs
authentication before you can access it.

I'm sorry that the only ones I know are on my employer's Intranet and these are
not accessible from the Internet. Therefore I can't make a test case that is
suitable for you.

I have attached the simplified test case I made to demonstrate the problem
within our Intranet. If you know a suitable URL you can modify this by
1)  replacing the HREF= part of the BASE tag
2)  replacing the SRC= part of the IMG tag

This is a dupe of bug 62108 
(No Basic Authentication dialog for inline images <IMG>)
Please reopen if you disagree !
