HTTP Basic Authentication prompt only displayed once

The username/password prompt for HTTP Basic Authentication is not displayed a second time. This seems to be related to various errors that are logged to the Browser Console (see attached log).

To reproduce this problem:

  1. Open https://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/authentication/
  2. Click the "Display Image" button within Example 10 on that page.
  3. When prompted, enter httpwatch for the username and any password.
  4. Click the "Display Image" button a second time.

Expected result: a new username / password prompt. Actual result: no prompt.
