one of the recent updates broke ntlm authentication for me. About
2 weeks ago, iceweasel always asked for username and password
when I visited a site that requires ntlm authentication. The
current version doesn't ask for credentials, but only shows "401
unauthorized". 

Please restore the old behavior, where iceweasel asks for
credentials or provide some other way, where I can visit ntlm
pages where the only way to get the credentials is that I type
them.

I found out about the ntlm protection with lynx, which told me
that the site is ntlm protected.

chromium version 35.0.1916.153-2 asks for credentials and
displays the site.

I also tried a new iceweasel user profile, it shows the same
problem.

Bye,

Hendrik
