@maiyannah Did you call me, the brave User? :-)
As I understand, we are talking about "Basic authentication" at https://community.highlandarrow.com site?!
Just now I made this test from my Windows 10 PC + Google Chrome browser helping to show that the problem is not specific to Android:
1. In tab 1 of the browser navigate to https://community.highlandarrow.com/main/public .
2. Web UI opens.
3. Authenticate yourself, if not authenticated yet.
4. In the tab 2 try to access URL of the Home API:
https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/statuses/home_timeline.json
5. JSON response with social network messages appears without any credentials prompt.
6. Switch to the tab 1 and log off (click your avatar at the top for the log out menu item).
7. Switch to the tab 2 (where you're at https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/statuses/home_timeline.json ) and refresh the page.
8. "Authentication Request" popup opens.
