Details

If you go to a IDN site requiring to log in, e.g.
http://www.sonderpädagogik.net/login/, the password dialogue opens. But it says
"Enter username and password for www.xn--sonderpdagogik-cib.net".

What you unfortunately can't see before loging in (but is more surprising to
me), after you fill in the right credentials, the address bar text changes to
"http://www.xn--sonderpdagogik-cib.net/login/".

But if you type the url like "http://user:pass@www.sonderpädagogik.net/login/"
(with user:pass being the right credentials) you'll get access without the
address bar text changed.

So not only wrong behaviour but also inconsistent.

we need to fix bug 237819 first.
Depends on: 237819
Having now more time and an own domain to test I must admit I was wrong for part
two.

Changing the URL in the address bar doesn't come from the login but from a link
to a directory without trailing slash: <a href="not-protected">
The following redirect from the server has the header
"Location: http://www.xn--tesstdomin-x5a.de/not-protected/"
and Mozilla displays this without conversion.
URL: http://www.sonderpädagogik.net/login/ → http://www.teßtdomäin.de/
