62363 - Auth: cancel button returns auth prompt (not 401 error page)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 43009

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

Description

[Nasiruddin M.S]

Netscape Build : 12/04/2000
Platform : Solaris2.8(sparc)

To reproduce,
(1) Launch the browser
(2) Visit the URL http://www.onlinevarsity.com
(3) Click on the 'Login' icon on left hand side of the page.
(4) A authentication window comes up, asking for the username and password.
    Enter any invalid username and password and press 'ok' button.

Actual result:
--------------
The authentication window comes up again asking the user to enter the
username,password again.

Expected result:
----------------
A window saying 'Authorization failed' should comes up (Should give some
indication that the username and password entered are invalid).This works fine
on netscape 4.75.

Added the arch keyword.  Authentication prompting is being changed, and this
should be addressed in those changes.

The looping could be just reading the 401 from cache again (lather; rinse;
repeat;), or cancel could be reloading the page on the network.

This bug is old, the desired behavior is described in a previous bug.
