PDFs fail to load if behind basic auth
See original GitHub issueCarried over from https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/8702
If a pdf file is behind basic auth, then it fails to display with our pdfjs extension.
Steps to reproduce:
Download this script and extract it to your home directory SimpleHTTPAuth.py.zip. Create a pdf file named
type.pdfin the same directory.Start it
python SimpleHTTPAuth.py 9001 u:pNavigate to
http://localhost:9001/type.pdfNote it works in Chrome with pdfjs but not in Brave built in.
