Safari 2.x vs FireFox v2.x and authentication (passwords sent as clear text

Hi All,
first time poster here. I have been asked by a colleague if Safari 2.x under OS X 10.4.x behaves in the exact same manner as FireFox 2.x - specifically with regard to authentication challenges and sending text in the clear. In safari, He has stated that when accessing a specific proxy site with auth the dialog box say that the password will be sent in the clear.
Advice, correction, suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

egillis, welcome to Discussions!
This is really a developer question. Though someone may answer it here, you may have better luck posting in Safari's own development forum.
See this post for a couple of links.
Hope this helps!

  • CUCM Security - Are Jitter, Latency and Packet Loss Stats in Clear Text ?

    I've reviewed the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide and see no suggestion that implementing encryption prevents MoS scoring.  In other words, when you implement encryption, do you still have access to jitter, latency and packet loss information in clear text?
    TIA,
    Amir

    Well.. the phones measure the statistics.
    The phones then report the stats to CUCM for inclusion in the CMRs.
    ... as I recall this is done via SCCP.
    So yes, it's clear text, unless your signalling is encrypted generally. On most clusters it's not.

  • Can   i  send group texts  and have them be sent as indivuale texts so everybody does not see responses

    How to send group texts and have them sent as individual texts so everybody does not see responses?

    deref,   Group messaging is a great way to keep everyone in touch. I use them quite frequently. When you send a group message the replies will be sent to everyone. You can send them individually so people cannot see the replies.  RobinD_VZW  Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport  If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • Problem with both user and cmos password

    I have problem with my user and cmos password, can formating clear the passward with remove the cmos battary.

    It depends on the model. Formatting will not touch the BIOS or power on passwords but will take away the Windows user password and allow you to have a different one, but will kill all the data on the machine. Removing the CMOS battery might clear the BIOS password and power on password, but on most current laptops even that will not help. The BIOS data is on a chip that holds its contents even when all power is removed.

  • I have the latest Lion and Safari.  I am having great troubles with Safari in performance.  FireFox works great, but Safari updated 5.1.2 is awful.  What can be done to fix the latest version?  I have tried everything!

    Is Apple going to fix Safari 5.1.2?  It has been a nightmare for since the update.  I only had my Mac for a short period of time and didn't have the problem when I started. It all started when the update was loaded.  It is puzzling when Mozilla FireFox works better, but slower than the Safari.  I was told this browser was the best to use for Macs.  I am not seeing it!  I have empty the cache, reset Safari, and reset the prefences.  I still can't images, server not found error, or best yet-not connected to the internet when the news ticker is running.  What more can I do so I can make use of Safari?  I am tired to reset and clear cache every time I wish to go browse.
    Thank you!

    Hey, everbody:
    I finally threw in the towel and called tech support since it is free for me for the moment after making my post this morning.  They fix my Safari problem!  First, they had me do a shut down and unplug the computer for 30 seconds.  This idea didn't work for me.  Then they had me go and change my DNS from my IP address that was listed to the following:
    Go to System Preferences
    Click on Network
    Click Advance
    Click on DSN
    Under DSN Severs there is a plus sign.  Click on it.
    Type: 8.8.8.8
    Add another by clicking the plus sign and Type: 8.8.4.4 
    Go back to the beginning--main page and push the Apply button and then close.
    Open Safari to see if that works
    This works!  So far my Safari 5.1.2 is working like it was before the update on Lion and Safair package!  I hope this will help some of you.
    Thank you for trying to help me with my intitial question, but it turned out that I needed help from support and fix my DNS.  This may not work for all of you, but I hope for some it can relieve the stress.

  • My JOTFORMS ARE NOT LOADING IN FIREFOX. They do in Safari. Please fix this problem. And NO NO NO I will not be upgrading my Firefox Version because it will n

    My Jot forms are not being read in Firefox and I am getting an error message in all cases on my websites. They work fine in Safari, etc. on my MAC. And please don't ask me about versions. Your Firefox is the problem as usual. PLEASE FIX ASAP. IT IS URGENT.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    '''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    hi, my firefox and safari are both having difficulty loading certain parts of web pages. previous to this my firefox would freeze and state that a script was not responding. i would stop the script and reload the page and everything would be fine. now though the pages just load very very slowly or load leaving out certain pictures and video content. i've tried clearing my cache's and cookies, resetting my browser etc, but it seems like its a system issue as both safari and firefox are having issues. i've run Avast to screen for malware and it came up empty. any suggestions?

  • ITunes (and Safari) won't connect; Firefox fine

    I'm not having any difficulty accessing the internet through Firefox, but iTunes (and Safari, for that matter) don't seem to be connected. I've tried checking the proxies for both of them and nothing appears set in the wrong way. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Despite recent reports to the contrary, the iTunes Store is seeing record traffic and is actually experiencing connection problems. It is possible that your connection via FF is a fluke of the moment.
    If this problem still continues over the next week (once the kiddies go back to school), let us know.

  • Tutorials on the Apple Website play in Safari and Chrome, but not always in Firefox. Java and Flash plug ins are up to date.

    I was trying to play the Time Machine video tutorial on the Apple Website (I have an imac 10.6.6) and it won't play in Firefox, but it will in Safari and Chrome. This has happened before but then seemed to fix itself. Other videos (Youtube for eg.) play fine. All plugs (Java and Flash) are up to date. Just wondering why this could happen.

    I have had this problem for a few days, no sound in Firefox, but IE and WMP (offline) have sound, this is a Firefox ONLY problem, so the volumes are all set correctly and the drivers and needed files are there, I've tried every fix that people have suggested on Google like checking the flash player settings, creating the "missing.reg" registry file and importing it, etc...
    nothing works, I may just have to switch to Safari or Chrome, I watch a lot of video online (Youtube, ESPN3, NFL.com, etc.) so this is a huge problem...

  • Audio clicks and pops using Safari, no problems using Firefox

    iMac 27 inches , late 2012, Processor 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 Mo, OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
    Digidesign MBOX2 PRO Firewre 400 audio interface to a  thunderbolt adaptor through a firewire 800/400 cable.
    I’m on Apple.com via Safari  7.0.1 (latest version) watching the christmas add. (http://www.apple.com/#video-tv-spot)
    All is ok.
    I launch Garageband 10.0.1, (latest version) the ad’s audio is full ok clicks and pops.
    I quit Garageband and tthe ad’s audio  plays correctly.
    I launch Logic Pro 9.1.8  (latest Logic 9 version) ,the ad’s audio  is full ok clicks and pops.
    I quit Logic Pro and the ad’s audio  plays correctly.
    I launch Reason 6.5 , the ad’s audio  is full ok clicks and pops.
    I quit Reason and the ad’s audio  plays correctly.
    I launch Quicktime 10.3 (latest version) ,  the ad’s audio AND the Quicktime audio is full of clicks and pops.
    I quit Quicktime  and the ad’s audio  plays correctly.
    I relaunch Quicktime the ad’s audio  is full ok clicks and pops.
    I quit Safari and the Quicktime audio is ok.
    NONE OF THE ABOVE IF I USE FIREFOX (latest version)
    NONE OF THE ABOVE TOO IF Safari runs with the Firefox agent selected!
    So, it is not a MBOX2 PRO issue or a firewire cable issue or a thunderbolt adaptor issue.
    So it's Safari or Mavericks or ...

    Strange. Now the problem is inverted. If Quicktime is running alone, now I get some audio glitches no matter if I choose the aggregate device or the Saffire Le as audio interface. If I launch Logic, the audio is clean.
    (As usual all is fine if I use the built-in audio no matter waht sofwares are running)
    The problem is really inverted.
    The only way to get clean audio with Quicktime alone is to destroy the aggregate device!
    The good thing is that I have the control now. I can get rid of the audio glitches while running Logic.
    Oh an btw my firefox is 15.0.1.Latest version. Under Activity Monitor/Disk/Kind, it show Firefox 32 bits.

  • Why does goolgeearth work with Safari & Chrome but not Firefox

    When in firefox using Google maps and click on "EARTH" I receive a window indicating that to use 3D I need to install 21.0 Google Earth Plug-in with a "Download" option to click on. Note: Firefox 21.0 and MAC OS 10.7.5 have all current software updates installed. Safari & Chrome do not request for any plug-ins and 3D Earth option works fine. ANY HELP?
    PS. my MAC does have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 installed but my MAC, Safari & Chrome work fine.

    JKELLETT, That initially happen to me also. When you go to dolinsky296's suggested website https://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html I saw "Download plug-in" box in the middle of the globe. When I click it the download executed but the plug-in never got installed. Then I clicked on "Download Google Earth" in the ''upper right corner'' of the website and life was good. Google Earth now works in Firefox.
