           Summary: (Windows) Basic authentication doesn't work in URL when
                    proxy is configured
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://joeuser:a.b.C.D@www.rahul.net/joeuser/
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dan at fabulich.com


On Windows, go to an URL that uses HTTP basic authentication. rahul.net has an
example page at http://joeuser:a.b.C.D@www.rahul.net/joeuser/

(Beware of bug 15441; you'll need to use a version that includes this fix, e.g.
Safari Seed 310A15.)

"Reset Safari", Quit Safari.exe, configure a proxy server, then browse to the
same URL.  You'll get an error message that the URL is invalid.

If you look at the HTTP headers over the wire, you'll see that when a proxy is
used, Safari doesn't pass an "Authorization" HTTP header, but simply requests
"GET http://joeuser:a.b.C.D@www.rahul.net/joeuser/", which is not valid.

I tested this with the WebKit nightly r26595.
