Comment (by pulkomandy):
That sounds like an error in AuthenticationNeeded. Unknown authentication
types should be passed as-is to the web page and not interrupt the
request. Javascript code can then access the HTTP headers and process the
authentication request.
As for the services kit design:
Each HTTP request (BHttpRequest) runs in its own thread. It notifies an
UrlProtocolListener of all events. In the case of WebKit, an
UrlProtocolDispatchingListener is used, which relays the messages to an
UrlProtocolAsynchronousListener running in the main thread. This
serializes the events so there shouldn't be too much locking problems in
this case.
There are some exceptions:
- Some XmlHttpRequests are handled synchronously, which means the main
thread is blocked waiting for them to complete. This may cause some of the
freezes we get.
- WebSockets are handled with separate code in the WebKit repo, with even
more threads (2 per sockets IIRC), and is known to be broken in several
cases.
