I have internal site to test this, but does anyone know of external sites
displaying a popup authentication dialog?

Use this as a test case:

https://www.thawte.com/cgi/personal/contents.exe

username is US-545-11-1111-1 (notice that US is in caps)
and password is netscape

Thanks junruh for the info.

CCing some PSM folks. Kai, will the absence of an ON_STATE_NEGOTIATING callback
cause the SSL status to be displayed incorrectly in an embedding app?

Comment 6

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Mitch: Not sure I understand the question correctly.

Is the issue that ON_STATE_NEGOTIATING should get removed, or are you suggesting
that PSM should care for this event? PSM does not currently care for this event.

Marking a bunch of bugs in the "Embedding: APIs" component INCOMPLETE in preparation to archive that component. If I have done this incorrectly, please reopen the bugs and move them to a more correct component as we don't have "embedding" APIs any more.
