227069 - Mozilla does not supply available authorization tag with Java applet GET

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Steven H. Levine]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031103
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031103

When accessing a password protected site that contains Java applets, Mozilla
does not supply an Authorization tag with the GET even if authorization has
already been supplied.  This results in the need to entire the site password
multiple times.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open page
2.Enter user id authtest
3.Enter password authtest

Actual Results:  
Page loads and then applet security prompts for password for each Java applet
contained on the page.  In the test case there is only one applet.


Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have supplied an Authorization tag with the GET request for the
applet.  This would have suppress the secondary password prompts.  This is the
behaviour of other browsers.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
