Expected behavior
When using the iOS app with a self hosted wordpress everything works as expected. If the website is protected with basic auth, there should either be a configuration option for user and password or a popup when adding the page.
Actual behavior
If I add the site, it does not work at all, I just see errors when opening media. Although I could add the site and see some of the content, maybe it is using some cached credentials from browsers or similar.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Add a self-hosted Wordpress which is password protected on server level (basic auth)
Tested on [device], iOS [version], WPiOS [version]
iPhone 14 Pro Max, 16.1.2, 21.1
What is even more strange is that on the server, some requests (e.g. the ones to the xmlrpc.php) contain user/password combinations, so I can list/open posts, others don't. And some requests to images even do not use my public IP but are requested from some Automattic IPs, maybe proxies.
