52770 - Unable to access secure IIS web site

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 23679

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P3)

Description

[Conor Lennon]

This is similar to Bug 44041.
In Bug 44041 the http header was
HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="131.202.33.81"
Content-Length: 644
Content-Type: text/html

The resolution to this bug was to handle multplie 'WWW-Authenticate' fields by
using the first one that could be used.
This has been fixed, and I can access the sites listed in this bug.

However, we have some internal secure IIS web sites here, and I still can't
access them. (tried in build 2000091408)
The http header from them is

HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
Content-Length: 835
Content-Type: text/html

Note: only one 'WWW-Authenticate' field.

Mozilla Build 2000091408 does nothing when I try to access one of these sites.
I would expect that I would get prompted for a user name and password.

Is NTLM a valid value for this field?
Netscape 4 recognises this value, and prompts me for a user name and password.

Changing component to Networking, as I was incorrect in assigning this as DOM 0.

NTLM not supported as yet.
