"no username" trips authentication dialogue
A nephew has emailed us a wedding invitation in the form of a website. It requires a password, which he tells us in the email, but does NOT require a username. With Netsurf, the site starts loading, then the "Site Authentication" dialogue pops up asking for Username and Password. Leave the first field blank, type the password, click Login, loading apparently continues, then the Site Authentication dialogue pops up again (showing blank and password just as we left it). I tried on an Android browser. Its dialogue shows only a Password field, no field for username, and it displays without problem. Seems strange if the RiscOS authentication routine has never come across this situation before. Netsurf #4204. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk
