If you turn Clearly I meant "IPv6". *cough* Clearly. What's curious is that my Kerberised web pages (WWW-Authenticate: negotiate) which are all IPv6-based (since I only have one public IPv4 address) do all appear to work. So Safari doesn't use IPv6 for http: _unless_ you do "something fancy", with the cut-over being somewhere along the authentication line (does Basic cut it? I don't know). I'd hate this confusion far more if it didn't mean that Safari is the first browser to support Kerberised HTTP out of the box with no tinkering of config options. Firefox can be made to work with some about:config tinkering, now confirmed on MacOSX as well as Windows. Camino plain does not work. The Mozila framework's trace logging confirms that it's not tried. But it's not a matter of a concerted effort by Apple to make their tools "work" with Kerberos. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone and built curl(1) with --negotiate disabled. *sigh* Ah well, I once more can browse my subversion repository's web interfaces with SSO. -PhilThere's stuff above here
