No credentials prompt with basic auth (401)

[joker-777]

Hello,

I'm not sure where to post this error but I hope you guys can help me out. I know there are already quite a few tickets which seem to be related but after reading all of them, none of them gave me a solution which worked. I'm using right now the latest Chrome version 73.0.3683.103 with Linux.

I can reproduce this error very reliable on our staging server which is basic auth potected. The first time accessing it, it prompts me correctly for the basic auth credentials.

But when I then insert chrome://restart in the address bar, it clears the basic auth cache and the next time I access it, it doesn't show me the basic auth prompt any more.

The only way to fix this is to unregister the current service worker.

This is a known issue in Chrome: https://crbug.com/623464.

The spec has this right, Chrome just needs to implement the spec.

Thanks for sharing this link. Good to know that this problem isn't because of our servicemworker implementation.
