Imported from backplanejs Google Code issue 6.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Open the following URL in Firefox http://67.202.30.116/basic-authentication.html
  2. Click 'Submit' trigger to trigger submission
  3. Submission fails to get beyond xforms-submit

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect two separate modal xf:messages, one each for xforms-submit and xforms-submit-done followed by the display of a list of financial product names.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

The submission tries to retrieve the following file that is protected by HTTP Basic authentication http://xforms.localhost/protected/inst-product-list-complex.html.

The form xf:submission includes an xf:header element child element that supplies the 'Authorization' header details and username/password details as a base64 encoded string.

The form does what's expected when it's loaded with Internet Explorer (tested with IE 7).

Firefox version tested with was 3.5.5.

This problem is occurring because the xf:name element appears to not be decorated as expected. Thus, when it is used in xforms-submission.js#setHeaders(), the browser throws an exception when the called to nodelist[0].getValue() is attempted.

I've raised a corresponding issue in Ubiquity XForms:
