Comment #13 on issue 20984 by ero...@chromium.org: Not prompted for Basic  
authentication
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20984

> The Matchport device sends this header to Chromium:
>     WWW-Authenticate: Basic

Yuck; that is invalid according to RFC 2617.

But I guess we will need to be less strict and allow it for compatibility.


Here is what RFC 2617 has to say:


   realm = "realm" "=" realm-value
   challenge = "Basic" realm

And also do drive the point home, section 1.2 says:

     The realm directive (case-insensitive) is required for all
     authentication schemes that issue a challenge.

(This latter point is also what implies that DIGEST requires the realm  
parameter).
