Second Basic-Auth after POST

[aheusingfeld]

For some reason the redirect after successfully POSTing an entry sends one to aURL which requires the Basic-Auth credentials a second time. Occurs in Safari on iOS 8.1!

Please note: This might be specific to the current environment setup at innoQ

Interesting: How does changing the redirect target fix the post-POST auth prompt?

Was that a rhetorical question? To be honest, it was an assumption on my part (as you typically start with /statuses/updates, log in if necessary, and are prompted again if accessing /statuses on a higher level in the path tree). But I may be wrong, please re-open if that’s the case.

Seems to be fixed! \o/

Nope: I remain genuinely curious what triggered this issue in the first place - but I reckon that's most likely related to our internal infrastructure.
