Hi there,

I've been using the http auth adapter lately and noticed something strange. I tried to use different realms for different areas of my site. Once I authenticated for one realm, the browser would send this one as soon as I entered another realm. And here it comes, it did authenticate for the other realm. To be clear:

1. auth for /realm1
2. auth for /realm2

The second auth wouldn't even ask for a password, it just used the browser supplied old realm and saved username and password, which then authenticated just fine. Is that by design? I thought, if I requested a specific realm for authentication, that one would be checked. Looking at the code, Zend_Auth_Adapater_Http really takes the user supplied realm and passes it to the resolver without checking the actually requested realm. As I've implemented my own resolver, I added the check there and it works.

So is this a bug or a feature?

Cheers Jan

PS: The different authentications have different auth storages, so they are completely independant.
