           Summary: Proxy user authentication information not sent
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.2)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: odevaux at webroot.com


When the user uses Safari to surf the internet via a proxy, which requires user
to authenticate against the proxy, Safari does not send the proxy
authentication data in any new TCP sessions even when the browser is not
closed. This behavior is different from other browsers such as IE and Firefox.
Since the browser does not send the proxy authentication data, the proxy sends
an HTTP 407 reply. At this time, the browser then includes the authentication
information.

The browser should have sent the proxy authentication data in all HTTP requests
after the user authenticates against the proxy, even for those requests that
are sent using new TCP sessions, as long as the requests are from the same
browser instance.
