what could be happening is that you have something like 2 domain names 
mapping to 1 ip address. The httpscenario request response scenario is 
as follows:

1) HTTP request for page http://www.coolsitesname.com/private/
2) server response UnAuthorized.
3) browser asks for username/passwd
4) browser resends request, this time with basic auth header.
5) browser gets page.
6) browser fetches images aso found on page. but the BASE ref maps
    to another name of the site.
    fe http://www.coolsitesothername.com/private.

    since this is seen as another site no auth header is sent
    and the above scenario repeats.


This typically happens when you fi have
Http://www.cool.com and http://www.cool.nl mapping to the same site.

Have fun,
Sloot.
