If you e.g. do in javascript:

    p = new HttpRequest();  
    p.open("POST", url);  
    p.send(somestring, true);

and the POST-url requires HTTP-Authentication from the Zope-side
then Mozilla fails to resend a correct POST-request with authorization.
In fact, mozilla doesn't send the body of the POST-request anymore.
It doesn't matter if you have already been authenticated (through the 
browser-login-window) before or during that interaction.
