RE: [SA-list] http/auth checks not working after upgrade to v5

[Deadman, Phil]

Wasn't there something in v4 about using cookies? If this isn't basic or NTLM it must be cookie-based authentication.

A password challenge page is not a real HTTP password page. 

Within a normal GET request you can only do authentication if the server send a authentication request and and authentication request is not an HTML page like the one you're seeing.

I don't see how v4 could have done authentication without an authentication request that is server based.
