All - I'm trying to write an RESTful AJAX application, using HTTP digest authentication on the REST resources. Up until now, it's been working fine. However, today I added some code, and Firefox now asks for a username and password using its standard login box, for most AJAX requests.
The code I added was in one of the existing AJAX handlers, to make
a further AJAX request, based on the returned data. The code looks
something like this:
basic_ajax_get(url1, callback1);
function callback1(req)
{
data = parse_result(req.responseText);
url2 = some_function_of(data);
bas0c_ajax_get(url2, callback2); // Works fine without this
}
function callback2(req)
{
// Do other stuff here
}
function basic_ajax_get(url, callback)
{
var req = get_ajax_object(); // Just gets a new XMLHTTPRequest object
var account = document.getElementById("account").value
var password = document.getElementById("password").value
req.onreadystatechange = function() { callback(req); };
req.open("GET", api + url, true, account, password);
req.send("");
}
Has anyone else come across this issue? If so, do you have any idea
how might I go about fixing it?
