           Summary: HTML5 video tag Does Not Load in Apache
                    htaccess/htpasswd Protected Directory
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://www.vitalnet.net/test/index.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: andy at vitalnet.net


The HTML5 <video> element does not load the video if it is placed within an Apache htaccess/htpasswd protected directory even after correctly authenticated login. I have set up two simple pages demonstrating the problem:

The files in a public directory with video that works:

http://www.vitalnet.net/test/index.html

The files in a protected directory where the video stops at 'Loading...':

http://www.vitalnet.net/testprotected/index.html

Login with: username: test | password: safari

Note that Safari 4 and 5 both load the video from the protected area and play it (without the HTML5 controls, appears with QuickTime controls) using a plain link to the file (provided at the bottom of the test pages).

This problem does not occur on iPad or iPhone. Not tested on others.
