(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Grant Gayed]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041115
Build Identifier: 

In XULRunner 1.8.x, using the gtk embedding widget to navigate to a page that required authentication would show a prompter requesting a user name and password.  Doing this in the XULRunner 1.9 stream doesn't show the prompter but immediately shows a page indicating that authentication failed.  This is because it needs to implement nsIPromptService2.PromptAuth(...).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile XULRunner from source with tests enabled
2. run its TestGtkEmbed app
3. navigate to a page that requires authentication, such as http://ies.ottawa.ibm.com/iss/ies

Actual Results:  
A page is shown that starts with "Authentication required! ..."


Expected Results:  
A user name/password prompter should be shown.
