Spun-off from bug 1528463. As I noticed Firefox shows a 404 page when using one of the following Basic HTTP authentication handlers:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=authentication.py&path=
The reason is that no content type, nor doctype is send together with the content via the response.
This might be a bug in Firefox, because other browsers like Chrome, and Safari show the correct 401 page. Also the devtools in Firefox show that the response is a 401.
