1180146 - App icon is not loaded when HTTP Basic Auth is required

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect)

Description

[n00000000ne]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150602115007

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a website that offers the installation of a WebApp, but requires http Basic Auth Login
2. Install the (hosted) app.


Actual results:

The app icon could not be loaded by the homescreen because no cookies or auth headers were sent for the app icon request although the user was already logged into the webpage.

(The server (correctly) returned a 401 status code.)

Instead, the default fallback app icon is shown.


Expected results:

The correct app icon should have been loaded from the server (cookies should have been sent in the request).

Mass update: Resolve wontfix all issues with legacy homescreens.

As of 2.6 we have a new homescreen and having these issues open is confusing. All issues will block bug 1231115 so we can use that to re-visit any of these if needed.
