Stock web browser can't handle Basic Auth

 

Hi there,

is it possible that the web browser on my bq E5 (r5) can't handle
Basic Auth? There is no prompt dialog popping up, instead Apache's
usual "Authorization Required" page (on my server) or a similar page
(e.g. on https://pypi.python.org) is shown.

Should I file a bug report? (Where?)

Additional questions:

- What browser is this exactly on our phones? A fork of Chromium?
Which parts of the implementation are different, and why?

- Will we have a browser choice in future? I mean, "choose your own
default browser", like on the desktop today. When?

Thanks in advance for clarifying,
Peter
