104410 - HTTP basic authentication info not passed to applets

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 60304

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Zac Jacobson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5+)
Gecko/20011012
BuildID:    2001101203

If an applet is on a page that requires basic authentication to view, the applet
also asks for the same authentication.

Since this doesn't occur with other browsers, I'm assuming that it's possible to
pass the authentication username/password to the applet, or to the JVM that runs it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I'm sorry, I don't have a publicly accessable URL that demonstrates this.
1. Access the site needing basic authentication. Supply a valid
username/password in the browser-spawned dialog.
2. The site contains an applet, wait for it to load.


Actual Results:  The applet then pops up its own dialog asking for the same
"Network Password".

Expected Results:  The applet should just run, as the browser has already
successfully supplied authentication info, and this should be made available in
the applet's context.

I'm using Sun's JRE v1.3.1.
