Description
Hi,
I have an issue with authentication and redirect.
When I make the original ajax request, the username/password I specify in the ajax parameters are sent correctly. However, on some pages the webserver issues a 302 redirect.
jQuery follows it but then, accessing the redirect destination, it does not send the authentication, and I get prompted with the password.
Is there any known workaround?
Thank you a lot.
Please disregard this - I have just read an interesting discussion about:
1) this not being a jQuery fault
2) how forwarding the credentials to a redirect would be extremely bad practice
I found a workaround - I noticed this happens only once, and only if the first url I access has a redirect.
If I do first a dummy call to a page I am sure it does not have a redirect, and put the rest of the code on the success callback, I do not get prompted for username and password on redirects.
