319812 - 401 Authentication required: if a new authentication is asked in the same session for the same URL, firefox always send the first cached authentication

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 137852

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Walter Laub]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7

The following scenario works well with MS IE Version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 but not with firefox

A tricky self programmed webserver demands all X minutes a new 401 authentication, but the passwords change (like TAN). The first authentication always works well, but when the next authentication came (in the same session), firefox ignore the new typed password (TAN) and send the initial password from the first authentication. The only way to continue is to restart firefox.

As mentioned the same scenario works on IE.


Reproducible: Always

Please don't report bugs from old browsers and your used FF Versions is based on a over 14 months old Branch. 
Do you see this also in FF1.5 or later and Do you also have an example URl ?

Tested again with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

The problem still persist.
Sorry, I don't have a public site to demonstrate.

Maybe related to bug 201620/bug 137852 or Firefox bug 292262?
