            Bug ID: 297954
          Severity: normal
               URL: http://niner.name/rekonq_ajax_basic_auth_bug/
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: webkit-devel at kde.org
           Summary: rekonq/konqueror do not send http basic auth header on
                    synchronous AJAX requests
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: nine at detonation.org
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kwebkitpart

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.34 (KHTML,
like Gecko) rekonq Safari/534.34
Build Identifier: 

When setting the third parameter of XMLHttpRequest.send to false to make the
request synchronous, rekonq and konqueror with webkit engine do not send the 
"Authorization" HTTP header to the server thereby failing to authenticate the
request. It does work as expected for the default asynchronous requests.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://niner.name/rekonq_ajax_basic_auth_bug/
2. login with user name "test" and password "test"
3. press the "sync request" button
Actual Results:  
an alert pops up with a "Fail: 401 Authorization Required" message

Expected Results:  
an alert pops up with a "Win" message like it does when pressing the "async
request" button
