Re: Basic Authentication: Firefox requires twice while Explorer only once

[Guillermo Pallarés <guillermo.pallares@xxxxxxxxx>]

What kind of "call to this file" do you use?
The call is <frame marginwidth = "0" marginheight = "5" src="clock.html" name = "sac" scrolling = "no" frameborder = "0">

If this line is removed, then the second autenticathion doesn't appear.

You should trace all the requests your browser is making as part of
whatever document is being requested. In one of these requests, the
hostname is probably changing, resulting in the new auth.
(Alternatively, perhaps there is simply a browser bug causing it to
forget credentials.) But there is really no way for us to know what is
going on from this side of the firewall.

I have tried to perform a trace by using Ethereal. Please find the complete .cat file attached, from the first log in until the second autenticathion is requested. I guess the most important part is the end, because at some point the browser stops sending the aut info at the end of the frame. I don't know if it is casual but that point is when a .JAR file request is sent.

Do please me know if there is any extra information I can give you.

Thanks,
Guillermo
