When we send XMLHttpRequest to access search engines or it is sent from
chrome extensions, we may do/don't want the browser to show the
authentication challenge dialog. Should we provide a property to give a
choice to users such as the "webkitBackground"?
Please see the bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91964
If we totally disable XHR popping up the challenge dialogs, then how can
the user request the resource using XHR from the sites across origins
and requiring authentications? Or will this operation be disallowed in
the future?
One way is to show a form by javascript to ask for the credentials in
its "onReadyStatusChange" and resend it by XHR. Is this the reason to
totally disable the XHR popping up challenge dialogs?
