@maiyannah Did you call me, the brave User? :-) As I understand, we are talking about "Basic authentication" at https://community.highlandarrow.com site?! Just now I made this test from my Windows 10 PC + Google Chrome browser helping to show that the problem is not specific to Android: 1. In tab 1 of the browser navigate to https://community.highlandarrow.com/main/public . 2. Web UI opens. 3. Authenticate yourself, if not authenticated yet. 4. In the tab 2 try to access URL of the Home API:https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/statuses/home_timeline.json 5. JSON response with social network messages appears without any credentials prompt. 6. Switch to the tab 1 and log off (click your avatar at the top for the log out menu item). 7. Switch to the tab 2 (where you're at https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/statuses/home_timeline.json ) and refresh the page. 8. "Authentication Request" popup opens. ... @bob (part 1of 2)
