what was the need for a pop up login dialog box.  the old login was better, especially for iphone where now the username and pasword cant be auto-filled..
go back to the old login screen..

I have come across this problem too. I have always used ma_username & ma_password in my bookmarks so the browser logs in automatically, but since installing 0.5.0 (any Beta), the authentication box appears irrespective.

The only way around it is to use http://username:password@localhost:port/sabnzbd/ (does not work with IE 7)

This currently happens on FireFox 3.5.6, IE 7 & Safari 4.0.4 on WinXP SP3 and on both my iPod Touch 3G & iPhone 3GS.

I have SAB 0.5.0B4 running on WinXP SP3

My mobile device doesn't support HTTP auth, so I can't login at all.  I had to disable my login info.  It seems like an unnecessary change.

The previous login method was a kludge that can no longer
be combined with the updated web server we use.
We are not going back to the old web server, because that
would mean we can no longer offer HTTPS (plus some more).

End of discussion, we're not going back to the previous method.
I will check if it's possible to support the alternative way properly.

Yes, but some dumb web browsers don't support it (like IE).
