User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 I tested this in 1.3 beta and 1.2 as well If I login to a website using basic authentication... eg http://username:password@www.somewebspace.net/secured/location Then later come back and try to login again with a DIFFERENT username... eg http://anotherperson:newpassword@www.somewebspace.net/secured/location Then Mozilla will fail to use the new authentication information. It will use the original information. I have labeled this bug a severity of "Blocker" due to the fact that I have been ordered by the "powers that be" to not use Mozilla until this is corrected... I hate that due to the fact that they may start forcing me to use IE (PUKE) I searched the bug database and found a similar reference for bug #55181. But I don't know if this is similar enough to be a dup since it is ignoring the acutal information that I am entering. I included it here so that the reviewie could easily make that decision. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See details for information on how to reproduce Actual Results: I remained logged into the original user. Expected Results: It should use the authentication information that I manually entered.

This is no blocker since it doesn't block Mozilla development -> http (unsure if this is a dupe)

I have reproduced a very similar bug, but only when authenticating against and Apache 1.3 http server running on Mac OSX. In my case, when connecting to a web page protected by basic htaccess authentication, if I type the password wrong, I can't get prompted for the userid/password without exiting the browser. In other words, failure to authenticate requires exiting the browser to get another chance to re-authenticate. Re-authentication after a typo is >not< a problem when authenticating against Apache on Redhat. Reproducible: Always
