Details

When I go to a site that uses basic authentication and select "cancel" instead of entering a user/pass and trying to log in, the same dialog window comes back each time I hit cancel. Really annoying. I'm seeing this with 1.0rc1, but I've run into it in the past as well. Simple steps to reproduce: 1. go to site that requires basic authentication. 2. hit the cancel button. Instead of getting an error message from the web server about invalid authentication, the user/pass dialog comes up again.
This works for me (linux 2002042607). Can you give a testcase?
