HTML5 App Cache fails with Firefox 11 - works with Chromium

Question

I have successfully tested HTML5 Application Cache under Chromium. For instance:

CACHE MANIFEST
http://localhost/pycoh-mnt/materialRequisition/create

The above URL renders an HTML5 file. When I protect it with cookie-based authentication, Firefox 11 fails; I get an error whose description I could not find, but I think is due to an HTTP Redirect response. If I make the URL public, it correctly caches it.

In the other hand, Chromium 18 handles the caching properly in both cases. I'm afraid Firefox is not sending the cookie information when it issues the caching request.

Any idea? Thank you!

PD. I forgot to say I'm running 64 bits apps.

Check if third party cookies are disabled in FF. There is currently a bug in FF that prevents cookies from being sent in the manifest request when 3rd party cookies are disabled:
