1352302 - Can't download file behind basic auth

Status: NEW

(Firefox for iOS :: Browser, defect)

Description

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

The download works fine with Safari, but not from Focus, Firefox, Firefox Beta, or Chrome. Focus at least shows an "Unauthorized" message - the others some flavor of "download failed".

From the command line:
$ curl -IL -s -v -X GET --include --user xxx:"yyy zzz" https://ck.example.com/calibre/get/EPUB/Liran%20Tal-Essential%20Node.js%20Security_2041.epub >/dev/null

I only recently upgraded from an old iPhone 4s, so I know this has worked with Safari for years.
