I suspect it's just a missing feature in whatever HTTP backend that is enabled in the webkit code. They are authentication methods beyond Basic.
NTLM is for Windows networks. It's a challenge/response method for doing integrated domain authentication (the web page automatically know who you are by virtue of you being logged into your machine with a given user). SPNEGO is the Negotiate HTTP header authetnication method, which is LIKE NTLM (developed by MS) but supports GSSAPI authentication, that is, Kerberos. Used in Windows networks beyond 2000, as well as any well configured Unix network (that uses Kerberos.) Gecko supports both of them in Epiphany and Firefox. -- NTLM not supported in epiphany-webkit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
