totem does not prompt for authentication on network locations

[Chris Jones]

Binary package hint: totem

We have an icecast server which is used for private streams and so requires HTTP authentication.

In hardy, totem would happily prompt for the information and store it in gnome-keyring.

In intrepid, it does not seem to be able to do this. If the username/password are encoded in the URL (i.e. http://user:pass@server:1234/stream.m3u) it works fine, so this seems to just relate to the part which asks the user for the authentication.

I will endeavour to provide, tomorrow, a test stream for this, to assist people wanting to debug/fix the issue.
