Weird glitch using .tabs() in combination with htpasswd credentials in URL

Weird glitch using .tabs() in combination with htpasswd credentials in URL

Hi,

i came across a weird behaviour of the jqueryUI .tabs() function in combinaction with a password protected Folder on my Server.

In order for users to access this section the browser based on Chromium 47 sends the credentials in the URL: http://user:pass@page.com and due to this combination the Jquery tabs seem to load the whole page head or the complete page into the tab content for some reason.

Same happens with Chrome 49 and Firefox on my Computer.

I could reconstruct this behavior on the jqueryui page using the same procedure.

If you go to the  http://api.jqueryui.com/tabs/#entry-examples Page it displays the tabs correct in the bottom,
but when you add the credentials to the url it loads the websites header into the tab content:

Is there a workaround I can use to bypass this behavior or did I found a weird glitch in the code?

Thanks,

Patrick
