I can reproduce this bug on both Warpzilla and mozilla-win32.
When we click download icon on Software choice page,
the server requires our browser to use POST method.
NC4.61 uses POST correctly but Mozilla seems to use
GET method instead. I confirm this behavior by iptrace.
This unexpected GET losts information that should be handed
to server with POST. Software choice lead us to error page
as the result.
NC4.61:
step1. browser -> server : POST without user ID nor password
step2. server -> browser : 401 Authentication failed
step3. browser -> user : require to input user ID and password
step4. browser -> server : POST with user ID and password
step5. server -> browser : 200 OK
Mozilla:
step1. browser -> server : POST without user ID nor password
step2. server -> browser : 401 Authentication failed
step3. browser -> user : require to input user ID and password
! step4. browser -> server : *GET* with user ID and password
step5. server -> browser : 200 OK - but information lacks
Could somebody post this bug to Bugzilla?
It's hard to me to explain more in English...:-(
