Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Unspecified Linux OS: Linux If you use XMLHttpRequest on a site protected by HTTP authentication, then it will ask for your username and password - despite having logged into the site to load the page in the first place.
I'm also experiencing this both in 3.5.8 and 3.5.9.
Created attachment 24420 [details] testcase This testcase tries to reproduce the problem mentioned in the report. It has to be put on some webserver to work (.htaccess with user/password = kde/kde included). I also uploaded the testcase to http://test.confuego.org/140850/140850-page.html for testing it right away.
Using my testcase I can't reproduce this bug on either 3.5.9 or trunk r798768. Are you still experiencing this behaviour?
In the case where I'm getting problems logging in, javascript is loading content that needs authentication into a page where I already authenticated. So the javascript executes without any user interaction which may be why your test case succeeds but we see the authentication problem.
The KHTML implementation of XMLHttpRequest does in fact no have authentication right now.
Message from the Bugsquad and Konqueror teams: This bug is closed as outdated, as we do not have the manpower to maintain the KDE3 version anymore. If you still can reproduce this issue with Konqueror 4.8.4 or later, please open a new report. Thank you for your understanding.
