41478 - when directories are password protected with a .htaccess file, only the first username password set is remembered

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 43573

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Joakim Recht]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16pre7 i686; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000603
BuildID:    2000060320

This means that the auto fill of usernames/passwords always uses the same
username/password, no matter what section you try going to. This is only valid
if the directories are on the same server.

If you enter the right username/password and selects 'save', the values seem to
be saved, and when you enter the site next time, a popup window asks about which
username should be used. Unfortunately, no username can be selected (nothing
happens when you select one).

Shouldn't this all just depend on the auth realm?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.log into one portion of the site
2.try entering another part, which is protected with another password



Actual Results:  The right username and password is not remembered

Expected Results:  The username and password should primarily be associated with
a hostname,realm combination.
