I have a page (really a script) which lives in one directory. This script writes
<img> tags which come from a different directory. Both are protected by the same
AuthName and AuthUserFile, but mozilla never applies the password entered for
the page to the images. If I manually load one of the images I'm asked for a
username and password (which IMO shouldn't happen since the browser should
already know). Then that image loads and if I go "Back" all the images appear.

Netscape 4.7x does fine with this page.

I'd be more than happy to give a username and password to a few people to get
this problem resolved.
