Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.29.1-2
Severity: normal
On my local network, I use Kerberos for authentication. With Gecko,
Epiphany was able to provide Kerberos credentials to authenticate
against my web server. This behavior is still present in Iceweasel.
However, with WebKit, there is no Kerberos support. This is a
significant regression in functionality.
This is probably a consequence of the use of libsoup2.4-1, for which a
bug has been filed. However, this bug is not about libsoup's support;
it is about the fact that Epiphany is significantly less useful than it
was before. As a consequence, please do not merge the two bugs.
