----------------------------------------

             Summary: Login modal in browsers (www-auth header)
                 Key: COUCHDB-2653
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2653
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
            Reporter: Eduardo Jiménez


I am developing a webapp using CouchDB, PouchDB and PouchDB authentication plugin.

I follow its instructions: 

"To prevent browser HTTP basic authentication modal dialogs of ye olde times, we have to be subtle in the way we use PouchDB. To prevent a rouge unauthenticated request to CouchDB (used to check whether the remote DB exists), pass skipSetup: true in Pouch's constructor options. Secondly, to authenticate the request against _session, add the HTTP basic authorization header to db.login()'s AJAX options."

But the very first time I open my app in browser, the login modal is there. I just need to reload and the modal doesn't show any more. If I close the browser and start the app again, the modal shows again.

I kind mate in IRC channel told me to file you this issue hoping you can think how to solve it.

Thanks a lot in advance ^^.
