No user name and password prompt for http basic authentication protected pages

[Patrick L Archibald]

When accessing a http basic authentication protected page the browser does not prompt for a user name and password it simply displays the HTTP Error 401 Unauthorized message. The browser should prompt the user for credentials, set the Authorization header, etc...

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Easy to confirm.

Visit http://oom.org.uk/ on the phone.
On the desktop you get a login dialog, on the phone you get an error:-

An additional API is required in oxide to implement that. See bug #1422339.

Note: If you need to access a page, you can enter the login as part of the URL as a simple workaround. (http://user:<email address hidden>)

For Transmission daemon, the url is http://user:<email address hidden>:9091/transmission/web/ and works correctly on my bq ubuntu phone.
The url can be LAN or WAN.
The password doesn't accept some characters, such as "/".
