#6576: Media Uploader problems on a password protected site

 Priority:  normal   |   Milestone:  2.7           
Component:  General  |     Version:  2.5           
 Severity:  normal   |    Keywords:  media uploader
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 I password protect my wp-admin directory using standard HTTP auth for an
 added level of security. I love the new media uploader included with
 Wordpress 2.5, but it seems to fail for the first upload in each browser
 session, possibly because of this password protection.

 Here's how the problem manifests itself:

 When I select a file with the new media uploader, a small dialog appears,
 prompting me for the username and password. I enter this information and
 press OK. Everything appears to have worked normally, but the file will
 not have been successfully uploaded. That is, Wordpress will behave as if
 it had worked (showing a blank image in the media browser, along with the
 relevant title and description information), however, the actual image
 file will not be there.

 The solution right now is to do delete the half-created media entry, and
 upload the media a second time, now that the username and password had
 been previously entered. This will work for all subsequent uploads, but
 only for that browser session. The above will have to be repeated for each
 new browser session.
