Bug Description
I have a personal website that I use Apache's AuthType Basic to authenticate.
From my phone ( Nexas 4 Mako OTA10 ) I can access the page and login OK. When I download a file I get a HttpError: 401-Unathorized.
More in depth:
When I press the "GetFile" link Apache logs (in access.log):
192.168.0.67 - barry [14/May/
On my phone the the Download Dialog pops up and I press download apache logs
192.168.0.67 - - [14/May/
The difference is the first has my user name "barry" in it and the second doesn't.
In comparison when doing the same thing from my desktop (14.04) and FireFox Apache logs
192.168.0.2 - barry [14/May/
and displays the "What should FireFox do with this file" dialog and Apache logs nothing further.
On my phone this behavior is the same whether I press "Download" or "Choose an application" from the Download dialog. Also if I long press the link and choose "Save link" the download fails also.
When I tried to download a file from a commercial site I have to log into, the download succeeded. I suspect the difference is the commercial site probably uses something beside "AuthType Basic".
I'm happy to provide any logs or to do more testing.
Thanks

I’m guessing the HTTP Authorization header is not being passed to UDM.
