1504637 - The network console displays incorrect data in the "response" tab for pages using HTTP basic auth

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P3)

Description

[Ophir LOJKINE]

Attachment: firefox-auth-response-bug.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the network tab in firefox developer tools
2. Open a page requiring HTTP basic authentication. For instance: https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/
3. Enter an invalid username and password. For instance invalid/invalid
4. Enter the valid username and password: guest/guest
5. Open the two "401 Unauthorized" responses in the developer tools, and look at the responses indicated by firefox


Actual results:

Firefox shows the response of the last request instead of the response to the request that resulted in the 401.


Expected results:

It should show the actual response the server made to the request (an html page with the title "Unauthorized")

Thanks for the report!

I can confirm this is an issue (redirected request response is not logged due to lack of the platform support)
