This is a known issue. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for it. Earlier
attempt to fix bug# 231932, which would also solve this bug, resulted in the
crash reported in bug# 287778. Hopefully, we can figure out how to address this
problem without causing new regressions.

> 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
