Using newly installed #4405 here on ArmX6 with Ro5.25.
All the above tests (in that order!) work OK.

Have always thought, though, that it'd be nicer if Netsurf gave some
message when a login is unsuccessful, rather than just repeat the
identical dialogue, which the user can feel is an infinite loop.


Some months ago I reported a site that asked for ONLY a password,
WITHOUT a username. Netsurf failed but other browsers coped, giving a
reduced dialogue box. (That site, for a wedding now past, now gives
only an "under construction" page, but other examples might exist at
www.squarespace.com where it was hosted.)

Dunno if Netsurf's revised code would now cope with this unusual
situation.
