Hello, Thank you for pointing at this compatibility problem.
Could you please use a browser debugger to check headers? A simple Google search already gives interesting directions: "Update: Travis Estill and David Kleinschmidt reminded me that 401 responses shouldn't be returned without an Auth header and so a 403 is a better response code. This also helps to make Safari behave too." (http://www.peej.co.uk/articles/http-auth-with-html-forms.html) "The solution was that I needed to add request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");" (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2188957/user-authentication-with-xmlhttprequest-works-in-ie-not-in-chrome) -Alain Le 06/12/2011 01:10, Conal Tuohy a écrit : > I've come across a compatibility problem using XSLTForms with Safari 5 > on Mac and Windows.
