----------------------------------+--------------------------
 Using TBB 4.5.2 on a .ONION website with Basic HTTP AUTH required

 I'm authenticated in the website and surfing

 I type Ctrl-U or right-click => "view page source"

 The view source page appears, but ask me for a HTTP PASSWORD.

 I type a working password, but no luck

 The web server is receiving both HTTP requests (before and after I type
 some password) WITHOUT http auth
