Hi guys, I'm building some new web authentication strategy, and I'd appreciate if you can help by posting results with different web browsers. This is an improvement over my previous test. Visit: http://www.nachsoftware.com/verymessyauth/ and report what is posted for each of the six tests. If you have access to a cell phone, tablet, set top box, video game console, please post results with those too. Thank you! Some preliminary results: Firefox 10: 6/6 Success Chrome 36: 6/6 Success QupZilla/1.6.1 Safari/534.34: 6/6 Success Internet Explorer 8: 6/6 Success Chromium 34: First Party Session: Success First Party Long Term: Success First HTTP Authentication:Success Third Party Session: Failure Third Party Long Term: Failure Third HTTP Authentication: Success Opera 12.16 First Party Session: Success First Party Long Term: Success First HTTP Authentication: Failure Third Party Session: Success Third Party Long Term: Success Third HTTP Authentication: Failure Konqueror 3.5.10: First Party Session: Success First Party Long Term: Success First HTTP Authentication: Third Party Session: Success Third Party Long Term: Success Third HTTP Authentication:

The past two posts suggest you're correct.

You only need one method to work to achieve authentication. If the system supports multiple and can switch between them, it should work.

Interesting, other people are telling me Android Version/4.0 is getting some failures or even pop ups. Are there multiple browsers that match that description?

Can you elaborate what you're trying to do? There's a different set of requirements for, say, user tracking vs. user authentication, for whether you control the first party site or not, and how frequent page reloads are in the first and third party pages. The difficult part is obviously to get the client to remember his credentials across page reloads when neither cookies nor local storage work, but depending on the circumstances there are indeed some workarounds. I don't see your scripts testing for page reloads though; especially the HTTP auth example seems contrived: when you're sending ajax requests and you already know the credentials, you may as well pass them as GET or POST parameters instead. If you find a way to reliably allow a third-party site to track their users across sessions in ALL circumstances, even when 3rd party cookies are disabled, that would be considered a bug by the browser vendors.

I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

AFAIK, this is for user authentication, and there is little control of first party site (it frames/embeds the third party site).

First Party Session:	Success
First Party Long Term:	Success
First HTTP Authentication:	
Failure

Edit: copy-paste isn't working for the third party section on iPod touch (iOS 6 I think). First two are successful, third is 401 unauthorized.
