Skip pages with basic http auth during importing

[dionysio]

When you encounter sites requiring basic http authentication during the import the whole process stops and waits. So maybe just skip these pages altogether.

Thanks @dionysio for your request.

Do you have an idea on how to easily identify them?

[dionysio]

You could check for 401 Unauthorized status first (and possibly WWW-Authenticate header for basic/digest). Or maybe only accept 20x codes.

[blackforestboi]

I wonder, why they are actually called then, because we already filter out all requests that are !=200

if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200)

[blackforestboi]

What do you mean with:

Or maybe only accept 20x codes.

[dionysio]

if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200)

The line you've posted is exactly what I meant - that it should only process responses that have 200 status... so I'm not sure why they actually pass that.

@dionysio @oliversauter it might be that the code drops that 401 and don't process it but browser just shows login window which block further processing?
