HTTP basic authentication login

a resource protected by HTTP basic authentication, prompting for credentials through the browser's native dialog

The linked resource responds with 401 Unauthorized and a WWW-Authenticate: Basic challenge, so the browser collects the username and password in its own credential dialog rather than in page markup. Any non-empty username and password are accepted.

Credentials are cached by the browser for the protection space, so a new dialog will only appear after the cache is cleared (typically by restarting the browser or opening the resource in a private window).
