GetAuthCredentials causes -7 Timed out navigation errror

[omerbalash]

Today GetAuthCredentials in CefRequestHandler is no longer called at all unless running with disable-chrome-login-prompt flag. But even with it set there is an issue where if the credentials are not provided quickly enough the browser will return -7 error and navigate to the error page for a timed out request.

This happens both if

1. you keep hold of GetAuthCredentials and call the callback from inside its context
2. you return from GetAuthCredentials and call the callback once you have the credentials in a different thread.

That sounds like you're blocking the CEF thread. Don't do that.

HI Marshall,

Thanks, Even if i dont block the CEF thread the same behavior we see the same behavior. in fact before i even call the callback the page navigates to TIMEOUT page.
