Description Martin Robinson 2012-12-05 01:55:43 UTC 
WebKit would like to activate other methods of authentication when URI-embedded credentials fail. For instance, in this situation it might ask the client or look into the persistent credential storage. This is important, because WebKit is using URI-embedded credentials to override any credentials Soup has previously cached in the session.

Would it be possible to backport this fix to v2.40.x?

We are still using v2.40.x in WebKit-EFL. We could upgrade to v2.41.x but we would prefer to keep using stable releases and this would mean bumping glib dependency as well.
