I am using a HTTP Service to talk to a third party API and
passing username/password in HTTP Basic Auth header.
When i enter wrong credentials through my application, as
expected i get a 401 unauthorized response. But before the fault
handler gets called, my browser shows the authentication dialog
asking me to re-enter the username/password.
It happens on safari and firefox browser on OS X. I have not
checked other environments.
Is this expected? I do not want the browser to show me an
authentication dialog and want my application
to handle the 401 error.
thanks,
Sunil
