When I go to a website that requires basic authentication the login dialog no longer appears. I get the following message...
Unauthorized
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand
how to supply the credentials required.
Additionally, a 401 Unauthorized error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If go to the same website in chrome, IE, and Firefox I get the login dialog. How do I fix this in Edge?
I've tried the Edge Beta and it doesn't work either.

If you have a repro, please provide me (ericlaw@) with a network capture following these steps:

AUTH_HANDLER_INIT
entry if the authentication scheme has been disallowed by
