165136 - Digest Auth requires reauthorization for every POST form submission

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 155155

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Eric Taylor]

Every time I submit a form via POST in a digest auth protected directory, it
requires me to reauthorize. Attempting to remember username and password does
not help. I believe this bug has been submitted for the PC, but I wanted to note
that it also affects the Mac platform in both OS X and OS 9. Most annoying,
particularly because digest auth is a relatively secure way to password protect
an internal user area (at least to the extent it doesn't post the password in
the clear).
