What does "it hangs" mean?

As in:

* what request do you make? (ideally using something like "curl", to
avoid any extra-browser complications)
* what response do you get?
* what response do you want instead?

And possibly:

* what do the nginx logs (access and error) say about this request?

From your config, a request of the form

curl -v https://your-server/TESTING

should return information about the SSL negotiation; and after than
succeeds, should return a http 401. And then

curl -v --user your-name https://your-server/TESTING

should have curl ask you for the password, and then should give a
different response when using a wrong password and when using the
correct password.


If this happens:

> nothing actually appears in the network page

after you have submitted credentials, then something has gone wrong on
the client side. When you hit "submit" or "go", the client should make
a network request and the network page should show that request.
