266303 - If proxy authorization via NTLM fails, password is asked on every file loading

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256949

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Artem Skoretskiy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I use Firefox to access internet sites through Squid that support NTLM
authorization. When i logon in a domain, everything is great - no password is
asked to go to the internet.
But sometimes i go to internet when i work locally, i.e. without logging in a
domain (so my username/password do not match username/password for proxy). Then
NTLM causes many problems - my username/password is asked on EVERY file i load,
even if i enable "Use Password Manager to remember this password".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Password is asked on every file loading

Expected Results:  
Waring is sent (NTLM authorization failed, please provide correct
username/password). Password is asked only once. Even if i do not use Password
Manager for remembering password!

If we position FF as a replacement for IE, we should fix this unconvenient bug.

Please test the latest builds off the 1.0 branch:

I believe this bug may be a duplicate of a solved problem (see: bug 256949)
