I had similar thoughts. However, with IE, I typically will get some password error log entries with firefox. Something like this even though I have 100% entered the password correctly: [Mon Jan 16 15:46:46 2012] [error] [client 129.33.49.252] user pictures: authentication failure for "/photos/7/.cache/dba5b12f5ec0bd5edc4505451a87ee4cd15663c7ad672db0afffca6e1aaec04e0ee0a3db6a669a35poac-nova-asnv-holidayparty-2011-DSC_0001-13.jpg-400x400.jpg-100x150.jpg": Password Mismatch, referer: http://www.poac-nova.org/photomanager/photomanager-gallery-view.cgi?set=2&gallery=7
Try putting the htaccess file out of photos directory and enclose the authentication inside Directory tag.
Good idea. Switching from a .htaccess file to using a Basic Auth directive inside a directory tag in httpd.conf DOES in fact appear to resolve the issue in IE and firefox. So have I found a bug or just a known issue?
