From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (WinNT; U) BuildID: 2000111604 An class or jar that is protected by basic authentication cannot be loaded by the JRE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a simple applet (I used HelloWorld from Sun's tutorial). 2. Verify that it works as expected. 3. Configure the server to require authentication for the directory containing the page and the class. 4. Browse to that page. Actual Results: The browser prompts for authentication. The browser then loads the page. The JRE prompts for authentication. The JRE throws a null pointer exception. Expected Results: The browser prompts for authentication. The browser then loads the page. The JRE does NOT prompt for authentication, but obtains it from the browser. The applet loads and runs. I first encountered this problem on NS6, then verified that I could reproduce it on last night's build. I discovered via sniffer that the JRE requests the page and gets a 401. Then, after it prompts for authentication, it reissues the request, but never sends the credentials it obtained. It then receives another 401 and throws the null pointer exception. I've tried the JRE 1.3 plugin under NS 4.75 and it works properly there, so I believe this to be a problem with Mozilla. I'm marking this as Severity: Major. My employer has several applets that are within protected areas. We are working to put up code that will sniff for NS6 and direct users to a page explaining that due to a bug in NS6 and we cannot support it at this time.
