Angry Browser File Download Issue

Hi,

I ran into a problem when trying to access websites protected by .htpasswd files (pretty standard way of doing things).

Basically I get prompted for the username and password and am able to log in to view the page...
However, if there are files on that site to download (also protected by .htpasswd) they will not download.
I am guessing this has something to do with it not sending the correct credentials when trying to download the file, but hopefully you know more.

The reason this is especially annoying is because 99% of my professors have their class websites setup in this manner. Which means that downloading notes (aka pdfs) is impossible unless I download them on my computer, then repost/send them to my edge.

Thanks for looking into this,
