Screen shot of Webkit Nightly Build after 302 redirection from Basic Auth page to no AUTH page.

You should note:
Referer:http://www.filistics.com/tosh/files.pl?projectID=30

The above URL is Basic AUTH protected.  It sets a 302 redirect to a resource on S3, with the AUTH info contained in the URL.

But you will also see in the headers:
Authorization:Basic dG9zaDp0b3No

S3 doesn't like having TWO AUTH possibilities since both methods could be valid, so it throws an error.

It seems WebKit it passing along the Basic Auth status when it shouldn't be.
