Overview

Files that have an iframe to a URL protected by via .htaccess credentials cannot be accessed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an iframe with a URL that requires a password via a.htaccess file.
2. View the file in view mode.

Expected result

I should get an authorization dialog popup, as I do in any browser.

Actual result

Error: “Unauthorized Access”, as though I entered incorrect credentials.

Sorry, I don’t consider this a bug. You can open a FR for this as it will need special handling.
