Description

Problème: comment faire passer un user:password (Basic Authentication) via le browser sans avoir reçu auparavant un code HTTP 401 (Unauthorized). Il semble que ce ne soit pas possible.

Solution: créer une opération (login) qui renvoie directement 401. Dans ce cas il faut gérer la session en stockant user:password dans un cookie par exemple.

Firefox (and also Chrome) unable to send authorization with the standard URL notation:

http://user:password@host/lavoisier/view

this works fine with cURL.

With FF and Chrome, the user must add the login name in the URL to get the 401 dialog box:

http://host/lavoisier/view?login=username

After the user has successfully logged in, the credential is kept for future navigation within the browser session.
