.htaccess credentials on Chrome / Android blocked

Hey there,

I know Google Chrome blocked bypassing .htaccess authentication for quite a while using urls like this:

var url = 'https://username:[email protected]';

Do you know of a working way to place a request with Framework7 on Android/Chrome that needs .htaccess authentication?

It tried to place a request like this, but this does not seem to work:

Framework7.request({
                url: url,
                method: 'POST',
                dataType: 'json',
                crossDomain: true,
                username: 'some_username',
                password: 'some_password',
                beforeSend: function (xhr) {
                    app.preloader.show();
                },
                data: {
                ...

I always get a 401 Unauthorized error status code.

Other platforms do work well using the old url schema, while Android/Chrome does not.

Thanks guys
