Well, this is not a problem of the Material theme but a general problem with XHR on hosts with basic auth. Any suggestions?

@squidfunk thanks for all your work, mkdocs-material 0.2.4 is great, 1.0.0 is even more !

I looked at the original mkdocs theme and the search_index.json is loaded with requirejs, and it works with basic auth.

I made it works again by adding the following code in base.html (before application.js):

      <script type="text/javascript">
        var require = {
            baseUrl: './mkdocs/js',
            paths: {
                text: 'text'
            }
        }
      </script>
      <script src="./mkdocs/js/require.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
        require(['text!../search_index.json']);
      </script>

search_index.json is loaded with Authorization header.

Did you use Chrome? I think we just need to set some header and it should work - no need for require.js

[StephaneRob]

Yes

The solution may be to include credentials in fetch :

- return fetch(_this.config_.url.base + "/mkdocs/search_index.json").then(function (response) {
+ return fetch(_this.config_.url.base + "/mkdocs/search_index.json", {credentials: 'include'}).then(function (response) {

Should be fixed in rework with b273c42. Can you please check out the rework branch and confirm? I added the credentials flag, so the auth cookie should be sent by fetch.

@squidfunk Tested and it works good !
Thanks.
