265338 - Displays login prompt in an unprotected subdirectory under a protected directory.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260927

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Stefan Johnson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

The server is apache 1.3.27.  The document root is password protected via basic
authentication, but the adw subdirectory is unprotected by using the "Order
Allow,Deny" "Allow from all" and "Satisfy any" directives.  Every other browser
displays the pages without prompting for a login, but Mozilla browsers display
the page and then request a login (which can be cancelled safely.)  This is an
annoyance, not something critical.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.View the url provided
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Page is displayed, then a login prompt is given.

Expected Results:  
Page should be displayed and the login prompt should not appear.

This has been tested on both Windows XP and Linux versions of Mozilla browsers.
