Re: Basic Authentication behavior

  It has been our observation that most browsers handle multiple
  realms in the same server poorly; once they have established a set
  of credentials for a given server, they will always send that set
  until it fails.  If the failure presents a new realm, most browsers
  forget the credentials for the first realm.  To check your favorite
  browsers, see:

    http://digest-test.agranat.com/test_list.html

  and follow the link to "Authentication in multiple realms".

  Look forward to this in the interoperability events...
