I added them to the Skipped list to make buildbot happy: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/80343

I'll take a look at this one.

It looks like the user and password authentication info is not getting through in Qt 4.7.2. They are added to the URL as in http://login:pasword@localhost/t/LayoutTests/http/tests/appcache/resources/auth/setup.php but they are not added to the Authorization HTTP header as GET /t/LayoutTests/http/tests/appcache/resources/auth/setup.php HTTP/1.1 ... Authorization: Basic bG9naW46cGFzd29yZA== This fetch fails with a 401 Unauthorized error. If I force the Authorization header this fetch succeeds. Then the next fetch to iframe.php gets an 401 failure. I assume that means that this info needs tqo be saved and send with following requests. Anyway, I think I need to investigate how this worked in Qt 4.7.1 since there seem to be several possibilities on how this should be fixed.

Just wanted to add that I see very different behavior. In Qt 4.7.1 the first fetch that requires authentication fails and then another fetch with the Authorization headers succeeds. In 4.7.2, the 1st just fails. I also see changes in the state machine. This state is not in 4.7.2 case QHttpNetworkConnectionChannel::Wait4AuthState: I think the next place for me to debug in here. // handles the authentication for one channel and eventually re-starts the other channels bool QHttpNetworkConnectionPrivate::handleAuthenticateChallenge(QAbstractSocket *socket, QHttpNetworkReply *reply, bool isProxy, bool &resend) {

What I am seeing is that the same socket is used for the 2nd request with the Authorization headers. However the socket stays in the Unconnected state and never makes the transition to Connected. Therefore this request times out. I don't know why this gets stuck here, but will dig deeper. Maybe a missing signal.

This seems to be a problem in Qt 4.7.2 HTTP/Socket code. Entered the following error for it. QTBUG-18411 - Qt 4.7.2 fails to add HTTP Authorization header and refetch after 401 http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18411

I add Markus and Peter in CC. Hopefully they have an idea of what have changed.

requested priority upgrade and ETA on http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18411

http/tests/appcache/auth.html has been moved to the Qt-4.8 skip list on http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/103504 More info can be found on bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74960

http/tests/appcache/auth.html works with Qt 4.8 and Qt 5.0 too, I unskipped it - http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/108346/trunk/LayoutTests/platform/qt-4.8/Skipped And http/tests/xmlhttprequest/basic-auth.html fails only on qt-5.0-wk2 because of other reason, so we can close this bug.
