[Bug Report] Mobile UI doesn’t load when using authentication (IOS)

[pierre-delecto]

As of c99ba68 (and in prior builds), when using a password, the UI doesn't load on iPhone--either via Safari or Chrome. No authentication input pops up, and no error is shown. Page just loads as a blank white screen. Problem persists when requesting "desktop site." Removing authentication allows UI to load.

Tried to inline auth info (using http://username:password@StashIP:Port), no change.

Using HTTP (not HTTPS). Need to test whether problem persists w/ HTTPs.

iPhone 7, IOS 13.3.1, latest safari/chrome.

On android using the native or chrome browser everything seems fine. ( the auth pop-up is shown when a password is present). So probably something IOS specific.

(Have you tried opening stash using incognito/private mode ?)

[pierre-delecto]

Incognito/Private gives same results. Tried with Firefox too, same issue.

Is there a way to access web server logs directly? Stash log doesn't show anything interesting. I'm running a docker container if that's relevant.

It's a general safari issue. Safari refuses to prompt for authentication unless the webpage is loaded over https.

Infinite's comment is odd--my issue persists on Firefox and Chrome for IOS. It also persists when I use HTTPS rather than HTTP. Maybe there are two separate problems?

One option to address would be to enable a web UI to logon. That's a bigger ask, but would allow things like use of a password manager.
