The ipad browser pops up a red phishing warning when you access a bookmark(!) that has credentials in the URL.

This is royally annoying because the same browser can't save these credentials otherwise.

So for sites using simple/digest-auth you're given the choice between typing in your password every time, or getting that stupid warning dialog every time.

Good work, Apple. That is truly "magical".
