I'm not able to reproduce this at all.  Can you please provide more information about the steps required to reproduce this?  Can you also verify that you do not have any Safari extensions (sometimes known as "plugins" or "haxies") installed, as they may be interfering.

In an account with admin privileges works ok, but in a standard even a new one just fresh created  the authorization panel do not open when one try to login. (no haxies or plugins installed)

Without a valid username/password I have no way of knowing whether the authentication is working correctly or not.  It seems quite probable that this is a server-side configuration issue as the few sites that I regularly use with HTTP authentication appear to be functioning correctly for me.  We need more information to be able to reproduce this problem and determine where the issue lies.

I appologize if i didn´t explain myself correctly. the panel where the username and password should be introduced  do not appear at all.
So no need for a username/password pair if you get to the point where you can  them you are not finding the bug.

That being the case, I still cannot reproduce this.  I'm using a relatively recent ToT build (21272) and visiting the above URL definitely gives me the authentication sheet.
Comment 6 ricardo 2007-05-06 12:33:19 PDT
is some kind of privilages permision problem. giving administrative privileges to an account make disappears the problem
Comment 7 Brady Eidson 2007-05-06 12:53:41 PDT
I understand thats your claim - which is why I tried with a non-admin account.  It worked just fine...

I've encountered a page like this as well. 

When visiting: <http://senpef.oceanic.net.fj/> I'm presented with an error page and never see the authentication sheet.

I can reproduce the problem on senpef.oceanic.net.fj, but not on icalx.com. Here are unmodified response headers:

$ curl -I http://senpef.oceanic.net.fj/

Comment 10 ricardo 2007-06-09 17:32:24 PDT
I got to resolve my problem.

Seems that some of the nib file in the webCore framework  inside the webkit bundle has gotten the wrong permision with a no-read for unprivilege account.

I hope this could be of help

I think the problem on <http://senpef.oceanic.net.fj/> is related to or the same as:

Someone may want to mark this bug as such since the original reporter has solved his problem.
