$.ajax json does not send authentication on redirects

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.
