Safari for Windows won't remember proxy authentication credentials

I'm trying to use Safari 5.1.2 on my work Windows 7 Professional machine to keep my bookmarks and reading list in sync with my iPhone and home Mac via iCloud. On my company network we use a proxy on port 9000 for all browsing, however Safari constantly spawns authenitcation credential prompts when opening pages (or without navigating at all). Selecting the option to remember the credentials does nothing, and the options for usernames and passwords is selected in Safari options but this doesn't help.
It doesn't matter what format I enter my username as. So far I've tried:
user
domain\user
FQDN\user
user@domain
user@FQDN
all to no avail.
Chrome V16 and IE9 have no issues with proxy authentication and they seem to share the global LAN settings. It doesn;t even hinder Safari's ability to resolve pages through the proxy, it's just annoying for each page view to spawn up to a dozen prompts.
Has anyone else had this issue, or shed any light on how to resolve?

Hi,
Just to notify that this exact issue is also on Windows XP. Thanks.

Safari for windows and itunes won't connect to the internet

Hi all,
I tried to connect to the itunes store this morning and it does't work. I can't tell you the last time I actually used the itunes store. Months ago at least. I'm not getting an error message or anything. The bar gets less than half way accross then just stops.
Second problem. After finally getting fed up with internet explorer I decided to change my browser to Safari (for windows). It insalled fine and opens ok. But it just won't load any web pages. Again, no error messages or anything. The bar gets part way accross then just stops.
I have tried all of the tips on the apple website and I've also tried all the tips in the forums that have worked for everyone else but not me.
I've added Safari and checked that itunes is allowed in my firewall. Even tried turning my firewall off.
I've checked that I'm not connecting through a proxy server.
I've tried resetting the host file.
All of the software on my computer is up to date.
I've tried flushing the DNS settings.
I've run diagnostics in itunes. (All ok)
My internet explorer runs ok so there is no problem with my internet connection.
I've tried just about everything I can think of and nothing works so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Emma

Apple, once again I ask you to help us on this one. In the next holliday I'll nuy a tablet and a phone to my mother and I'm considering getting an Android. I have a lot of apps in my library now, but I'll not format my PC just to get iTunes and Safari working. Sorry, but if it doesn't work or we don't receive any response, I'll ditch Apple products for good.

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication enabled. The IIS log has thousands of login attempts from Safari that result in 401 errors.
I disable Windows Authentication on IIS and it works fine. The problem with that is that my Windows clients stop working properly with seemless logins when I disable this.
The expected behavior is that Safari will work with basic authentication when NTLM does not work. That would result in a password prompt followed by a successful login instead of Safari stopping at "Loading" while hammering the IIS logs.
It does this on all machines that I have tried.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

Safari for Windows 7 - Where can I get a safe download?

I want to download Safari for my Windows 7 PC. I cannot find 5.1.7 on the Apple website. Is that the one that I should be looking for? If so, where can I get a download of it that won't include a bunch of garbage.
Or, if there is a version that I can download from Apple, which version should I choose?
A hyperlink would be greatly appreciated.

Safari for Windows was discontinued a couple years ago. By now it's outdated, not standards compliant, etc.. There's no reason why you should use it.

Is it possible to clear the entire Bookmarks list at one time in Safari for Windows?

Hello. Is it possible to clear the entire Bookmarks list at one time in Safari for Windows? I would like to continue to use the Safari browser even though I have Windows 7 as the operating system on my notebook. When I try to delete bookmark entries one at a time, after deleting several, errors start popping up in the browser. Can I reinstall Safari without the Bookmarks I've built up? Please help a humbled Safari user.

Are you sure that you can change the permissions of symlinks themselves? I think I've tried to make files read-only via symlinks on a local server but ended up using bindfs because it wasn't possible. Even if you can, symlinking everything that might be necessary for a given environment would not be ideal, plus I don't think symlinks can be used across different filesystems.
If a real-life human can figure out if it's he/she is in a chroot and break out of it, then he/she can write a script to do the same. I want a sandbox that could run malicious code with no effect on the system (if that's possible). Also, I think if the chroot idea were truly feasible, makepkg would have been using it for years already to simply install packages in the chroot as you normally would and then package them. There would also be several sandbox applications that could run applications safely. So far I have yet to find any.
I admit that I haven't looked into using a chroot in detail though and of course I may have missed some application which creates such a setup. Right now I think using per-application namespaces with fuse seems the most promising but I won't know until I've finished implementing a test application. If it turns out that it's a dead end I'll take harder look at chroot but it really doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

How does one stop Safari for Windows from auto resetting itself?

Safari for Windows running on XP Pro SP2 on a Dell Latitude D520
gets its settings reset automatically somehow. Also, the saved
userids/passwords randomly get "lost". These behaviors occur whether the
system is left running (with Safari terminated) then Safari is
started or when the the system is put in sleep mode (with Safari
terminated) and Safari is started after waking the system or when
the system is put into hibernate state (with Safari terminated) and then
Safari is started when the system is woken from hibernation. The
resetting and lost UIDs/PWDs is a random occurrence; it may, or may
not, occur after any one of the three use cases described above.
This behavior is becoming very annoying and will cause me to dump
Safari for Windows as my patience wears thin.
Any known solutions or suggestions will be greatly, and gratefully, appreciated.

Flash Video Encoder conflict with Safari for Windows

I installed Safari for Windows (AMD/Windows XP) without the
options (no Bonjour) and found that it disabled Adobe Flash Video
Encoder (tries to reinstall, can't find msi, can't reinstall from
disk, 1 keeps asking for disk 1). Uninstalled Quicktime, didn't
help. Uninstalled Safari, rebooted, still can't get Flash Encoder
working.

timtro;
Many (myself included)won't be installing safari/win until
the final
release, and I suspect Adobe won't test much until then
either, so it's
probably best to report this to apple as a possible bug with
their
beta. -Tom Unger

Safarai for Windows crashes

I am using Safarai for Windows version 3.0.4, on a XP desktop, I do have it set up as the default internet browser. The problem that I'm having is when I'm on a site that requires me to sign in, if I press the Tab key on my keyboard after typing in my user name it will crash and bring up the "Do you want to send a error report to Microsoft?" But if I use the mouse to move to the next field to enter my password it works fine. Why is it doing this if I use the Tab key instead of the left button on the mouse? I would like to be able to use the Tab key in case the batteries in the mouse stop working and I don't have any spare batteries on hand. Thank you for your help with this situation.
Chris

It's not the correct place, you are supposed to click the the bug button which is located immediately to the left of the addres bar
I used it to report some ommissions, errors and annoyances; but it crashed Safari and raised a General Protection Fault to Windows - staggeringly impressive in its inneptitude - a bug report mechanism which is buggered
Re your particular issue; from what I've read Safari 3.x does not support authentication in this laughably labelled "beta" release. A messagebox or dialog might have been nicer than a program abend for a feature so obviously flawed, assuming that it is implented at all: but hey, "it's beta" as the Aplle fanboys will no doubt post if you continue to mention Safari's shortcomings

Dreamweaver CS3 + Safari for Windows problems

Hello
Well first off I would like to Thank Apple for making a Version of Safari that runs on Windows. As a web developer (using DW CS3 for Windows) I always had to upload a test webpage to a server, look at it on a Mac, and go back to Windows to make adjustments. Now I can do it all in Windows.
I am having a problem with previewing a page on my local machine. When I preview in Safari it just opens my Safari Homepage. I have to preview in Firefox, copy the URL, and paste it into Safari to view my page in Safari.
I don't know if this is a Dreamweaver issue or Safari issue. Any help at all would be great. Thank you.

Thanks, Sarah.
My post went out before I was finished. Then tried editing it, during which you replied. My reply to you was then lost, because I'm not allowed to edit... Sorry.
I have been busy figuring out what Safari for Windows will and won't play back through tedious trial and error. It did leave me insecure as to the reliability of AE's output; hence my question. But with this news, I guess it makes more sense for me to just leave it, and hope Safari for Windows users will figure to get another browser, right? Or wait.. maybe I could put in a message that will show to those users...
Thanks again & all best,
Phil

SDN access with Safari For Windows?

All,
Am just playing around with the Safari browser and when I try to access SDN using the same, I get a pop up stating, "to view this page you need to log into WebURLProtectionSpace Proxy HTTPS proxy server www.sdn.sap.com:443"
Has anyone tried accessing SDN using the new Apple Safari for Windows browser?
Any clues on what the user id and password needs to be here.
I have already tried,
1. My SDN user id and password.
2. My Proxy server's user id and password.
Also read up on the net that https sites seem to have an issue with Safari. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried this though.
Regards
Bhavesh

Thought so as well .
But just wanted to know if anyone has tried this as well.

Coming Soon from Apple an Update to Safari for Windows ...

... with a lot of missing features:
Read at
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Coming Soon
Support for International users
International text input methods
Advanced text (contextual forms, international scripts)
Localized menus and help
NTLM support
PAC file auto-detection
FTP directory listings
Link to proxy settings from Safari (Safari respects the proxy settings in the Windows Internet control panel)
Cookie management
LiveConnect support
Tooltips
Spell checking
Printing page numbers, titles, margins
(...)

Yes, the question was not directed at you, even if I might have appreciated if you had made something up, just to make me happy.
The question was more directed at Apple, who have not been brilliant with the communication regarding Safari for Windows. Example: For several days they proudly presented Safari for Windows on the main page of their Japanese web site, even though one of the most glaring limitations was that the first betas would not work in Japanese - at all.
In contrast to many people in this forum, I do not mind that there are serious limitations and bugs in the beta. However, I am disappointed that Apple does not list the problems up front.

Can't Download Safari for Windows from a Mac

Hello All,
iTunes is no problem, but Safari and QuickTime won't let a Mac download the Windows versions. With iTunes, one can click a link to go to the Windows version, but there is no link for Safari or QuickTime. I have a stand-alone Windows XP SP3 computer. Although I don't use it on the Internet, I test web sites locally on it, so I need Safari to ensure compatibility. Does anyone know how to get to the Windows version from a Mac?
Jim

Sanjac--
I'm not sure you can; it's determined by your op system. Even if you could load Safari for Windows on a Mac, you'd actually have to be running Windows--and if that were the case, I suspect you wouldn't have had to post the question.
Best of luck-

Very poor implementation of XMLHttpRequest streaming with Safari for Window

I hope this post reaches Apple engineers. This is critical for us to resolve this. I am a member of the developer network, so if using incident support is necessary, it can be used. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I have implemented a test to compare XMLHttpRequest streaming performance for different browsers. Safari for Windows 5.0.3 had the worst results compared to Chrome and Firefox. Furthermore, I think this problem was introduced after Safari 3. The test consists of a server pushing messages of about 350 bytes to the browser at a rate of about 300/s. Once server pushes 10,000 messages, it closes the connection and browser opens new one repeating the cycle. There were several problems associated with Safari: 1) Safari could not process much more then 300 messages/s, that is quite low. Chrome had no problem processing 1,000. If, for example, 500 m/s was used, Safari would quickly allocate hundreds of meg of memory and crash. 2) Safari starts with about 64MEG of memory allocated. Once the test page is opened, memory quickly climes to 150MEG and as test progresses to >400MEG. Once the connection closes, it drops to 150MEG again. Chrome's memory did not fluctuate at all staying at 32MEG for the same test. 3) CPU was steadily claiming as test progressed and then dropped as connection was reset, creating CPU spikes. It reached about 50% CPU before connection was closed. Chrome's CPU stayed at about 2% all the time. This is the code: Server. Should be run with the latest Java Tomcat 7. Configure Tomcat to use Http11NioProtocol: package test; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometEvent; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometProcessor; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class WebFrameworkServletXHRReconnects extends HttpServlet implements CometProcessor { @Override public void event(CometEvent event) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpServletRequest request = event.getHttpServletRequest(); HttpServletResponse response = event.getHttpServletResponse(); if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.BEGIN) { System.out.println("Begin for session: " + request.getSession(true).getId() + " " + response.getWriter()); response.setHeader("pragma", "no-cache,no-store"); response.setHeader("cache-control", "no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,max-stale=0"); event.setTimeout(Integer.MAX_VALUE); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss: "); for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { out.print("{\"messageType\":8448,\"requestId\":"0",\"eventType\":1,\"symbolId\" :[\"BAC.EA\",0],\"fields\":[{\"header\":"0",\"type\":6,\"data\":[3993,2]},{\"hea der\":"55",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1185,2]},{\"header\":54,\"type\":6,\"data\":[321 8,2]},{\"header\":"5",\"type\":6,\"data\":[6617,2]},{\"header\":52,\"type\":4,\" data\":[15]},{\"header\":"12",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1700,2]}]}"); out.flush(); if (i % 10 == 0) { try { //Thread.sleep(60); Thread.sleep(30); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } if (i % 100 == 0) { System.out.println(formatter.format(new Date()) + i); } } out.close(); event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.ERROR) { event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.END) { event.close(); } } } client: <script type="text/javascript" src="log4js.js">
