Description Saurabh Bathe 2005-01-27 11:28:16 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
When ever you visit a site secured with digest mode passwords, Mozilla
 keeps asking for authentication information for each link clicked
from the secure page. This username/password dialog box is presented
even after a successful authentication. 
Additionally, any access request for images or css templates from the
html pages is not displayed. Apache gives error code 401 for these
requests. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mozilla-1.4.3-3.0.7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up digest authentication on apache
2.Access the site using mozilla shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Actual Results:  1.Mozilla shows page without css formating or images
2.Click on any link, you are again asked for the authentication
information.

Expected Results:  All images and formating using css templates be shown.
On clicking a link, should not ask for passwords again.

Additional info:

Mozilla 1.7.5 from mozilla.org works as expected so does Firefox.
