HTTP basic authentication fails

[RichardLindsay]

When trying to access a site with basic authentication, I don't receive the username/password dialog.

I'm presented with the following error:

ERROR: -202
ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

Hi @RichardLindsay
Does it works on Chrome?
Could you provide an example URL?
Also, did you check Disable SSL Validation in User Preferences ?

Version: 0.5.0
Electron: 8.3.0
Chrome: 80.0.3987.165
Node.js: 12.13.0
V8: 8.0.426.27-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18362

I set up a basic auth server using this basic example from http-auth
ResponsivelyApp showed the authentication popup
the only thing is that there is no option to cancel and close the dialog, making that if you don't have valid credentials, you can't get out of there.

Chrome:

@jjavierdguezas Noted, will have to add a cancel button to it.

Can I try to work on this? If it is not picked yet?
