HTTP basic authentication via URL doesn't work with Firefox?
- by Peter
Normally you can login to sites that require HTTP basic authentication by passing the username and password in the URL, e.g.:
http://myusername:[email protected]/mypath
On my Linux machine, I could access this website without problems with my Konqueror browser as well as with my Opera browser. But with Firefox it doesn't work? It always displays the "Authentication Required" dialog window?
Any ideas why it would work with the other browsers but not with Firefox?
