132874 - Proxy: HTTP double requests b/c auth is forgotten for 1st request.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 146074

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[sebastien ailleret]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020310
BuildID:    0.9.9

I use 0.9.9 with a proxy that require authentication. When i look at the log of
my proxy, i see that for every page, mozilla first send a request without
authentication, and then the good request. This doubles the numbers of requests,
and add a lot of lines authentication failed in my logs.

From mozilla user point of view, there is no difference, but this behavior is
obviously bad.

This bug did not exist in 0.9.8, 0.9.7...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.surf through a proxy which requires authentication
2.have a look at the log of the proxy (if warn authentication failed)


Expected Results:  Mozilla should only send a request without authentication for
the first page, not for every page

->NEW: confirmed Linux, RC1.

Here's the log from my server:

10.169.111.126 - - [24/Apr/2002:13:28:23 -0700] "GET http://www.packetgram.com/
HTTP/1.1" 407

http://www.packetgram.com/launch.html HTTP/1.1" 200 

I've removed the trailing data, the last number you see is the HTTP status.

You can see how something that each URL has to be gotten twice b/c a 407 comes
back, then a 200. (You can see the authenticated USER in the 3rd field "benc").

RESOLVED/DUPE:
Sebastien: please get a newer release, and verify if it works correctly.
This bug worried me a lot, but it was fixed! My fault actually for not sending
it to HTTP, where it would have been duped.
