Comment #1 on issue 12876 by antoine.marcadet: password required when auto-requested /favicon.ico returns 401 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12876
I got the same issue, there is no "/favicon.ico" in my html page and I got a cycling prompt asking for credentials because the browser try to access to the root directory. In the Apache's error log I can see the following error : [Mon Oct 05 10:04:01 2009] [error] [client ***.***.***.***] access to /favicon.ico failed, reason: user 'foobar' does not meet requirements for user/valid-user to be allowed access I need to protect my root directory from certains users but allow some other to access to sub directory. Is it possible that chrome doesn't try to load favicon.ico if there is no favicon ? This is a really urgent issue for me ? Will this issue being fixed in the next Chrome Release ?
