Bug 87665 – [BlackBerry] http authentication challenge issue when loading favicon

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit BlackBerry

[Jonathan Dong]

RIM PR: 160587

way to reproduce:

if we try to load any site which needs http authentication, and when the authentication challenge pops up, we press cancel button to cancel the challenge, then the favicon loading will trigger the authentication challenge once again.

root cause:
favicon loading is triggered when the main resource has been loaded and parsed, so if we cancel the main resource loading, we should cancel the favicon loading as well.

Slightly better:

// and parsed, so if we cancel the authentication challenge when loading the main
// resource, we should also cancel loading the favicon when it starts to
// load. If not we will receive another challenge which may confuse the user.
