We have an embedded web server which requires authentication for some pages (eg; firmware upload). We can't afford the footprint of SSL. We have been using Digest Authentication. This works for Opera and Chrome.

Issue resolved.

After a server sends a 401 response, it closes the socket. The browser should prompt for the user/password, open a new socket, reissues the request with the new Authorization gathered from the prompt added to the header.

When my server was closing the socket (following the 401), I was using RST (no socket timeouts). Works fine for IE11, Safari, Chrome, Opera 57. Just failed for FF.

I modified my server to use a normal socket close. The user/password dialog now works as expected, and FF reissues the request as expected.

Thanks!
