Images inside iframe require authorization

Question

I'm working on a page with a few iframes. The sites displayed inside the iframes are all secured with http auth, so i've set the iframe src like this

<iframe src="http://username:[email protected]"></iframe>

the problem: The sites load, but not the images. For each image i get a 401 (authorization required) in the console.

Am i missing something?

EDIT: it seems to be a "Chrome-only" problem

Answer 1

By any chance is this occurring with Chrome only?

*Edit:

If you add this to the end of the browser .exe: --allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt

As in: C:\Users\HelloItsMe\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt

It should allow the images to load. I suspect this is a bug with Chrome though.
