Version: Version 7.0.3 (9537.75.14)

Requst inspector in Webkit is missing the 'Authorization' header responsible for auth-basic authentication to websites.

Thus it is hard to debug this with the inspector.

Two screenshots showing the difference, once from Safari and once from Chromium.

This is a limitation of CFNetwork, which WebKit uses for networking. They add most of the headers and we don't know what they add at the WebKit level. We have a request internally to add such a capability.
