           Summary: [GTK][WK1] WebKit1 always asks for credentials itself
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mathstuf at gmail.com


In WebKit1, when authentication is required for a resource, WebKitGtk pops a dialog to ask first even if the browser would like to handle authentication itself. It would be nice if WebKitGtk would have a setting so that the browser could tell WebKitGtk "I got this".

Related to Bug #119303 (it looks like if that is implemented, the browser can disable the callstack[1] to here by getting ResourceLoader's m_options.allowCredentials to be != AllowStoredCredentials, but then that calls into WebKitSoupAuthDialogAuthenticationClient::receivedRequestToContinueWithoutCredential which doesn't offer a way for browsers to continue…maybe copying WebKit2's authenticate signal is best here with docs that libsoup's authenticate signal is basically "off limits" to browsers).
