Description

I can't prevent 401 authorization prompts from displaying in Chrome - this prevents the detection of routers that return a 401 for a resource.

Attempting to find a workout for Chrome, I have one for Firefox.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the 401 authorization prompt in Chrome when a protected resource is loaded through an iframe, using the existing Firefox workaround as a comparison. Determine whether the prompt can be suppressed while still detecting routers that return 401 responses; done means Chrome no longer displays the prompt and 401-based detection still works.
