[Gnu-arch-users] webdav authorization doesn't work

[Bart Teeuwisse]

tla doesn't send the proper authorization strings to a webdav server.

From the #arch IRC log of 2004-02-02 
(http://www.thecodemill.biz/services/arch/irc/2004-02-02):

I'm running into some problems with tla and webdav archives requiring 
Authorization
[02:39:27] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
I've registered the archive like so:
[02:39:39] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
http://tdav:address@hidden/home/bart/{archive s}/2004-oacs 
<http://tdav:address@hidden/home/bart/%7Barchives%7D/2004-oacs>
[02:40:12] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
Which should send a base64 encoded authorization string of 'tdav:tdav'.
[02:40:44] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
Instead the server receives a base64 encoded string of 
'tdav:tdav£^R\210Úÿ¿\206\206
[02:40:44] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
@ÀÚÿ¿¤401£^R'
[02:41:14] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
Has anyone experienced this problem too?
[02:41:50] 	<*walters*> 	/walters hasn't heard of anyone using webdav 
for writing before now :)/
[02:42:12]      <*cehteh*>        /cehteh neither/
[02:42:50] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
Yeah, all archives appear to be authorization free.
[02:42:55]      <*cehteh*>        at least i would use https if really over dav
[02:43:04]      <*walters*>       bartt: what tla version?
[02:44:21] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
To be precise:
[02:44:23] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
./src address@hidden/package-framework--devo--1.0--patch-24

./src/tla address@hidden/tla--devo--1.1--patch-188
[02:44:58]      <*walters*>       the current code looks ok to me
[02:45:15] 	<*walters*> 	but you could fire up gdb and step through 
arch_pfs_dav_connect
[02:45:39] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 	ok
[02:54:40]      <*walters*>       bartt: gdb --args /path/to/tla get -A ...
[02:54:48] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 	thx
[03:05:38] 	<*bartt 
<http://www.thecodemill.biz/shared/community-member?user%5fid=4988>*> 
In arch_pfs_dav_connect:
