------------------------------
Summary: Support preserving cookie state over a series of HTTP
operations
Key: JENA-436
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-436
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ARQ, Jena
Affects Versions: Jena 2.10.1
Reporter: Rob Vesse
Assignee: Rob Vesse
Priority: Minor
2.10.1 makes several improvements to HTTP operation handling to support
authentication on updates. However the support for both queries and updates is
still only for HTTP authentication which means it cannot be used with systems
that use forms based authentication e.g. Apache mod_auth_form
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_auth_form.html
Supporting this will require some fairly substantial reworking of the HTTP
handling code for both queries and updates since it needs to support several
things:
1 - Being able to carry out a login operation to an arbitrary URL to perform
the authentication and initalize the necessary cookies
2 - Storing and presenting appropriate cookies over multiple requests
If we are to carry out this work it may be good to standardize to using a
single HTTP library, currently queries use HttpQuery (a wrapper around the JRE
provided HttpURLConnection) while updates use HttpOp (a wrapper around the
Apache HttpClient library)
In doing this standardization we should also standardize how parameters are
passed through these layers. For queries the QueryEngineHTTP sets properties
on the HttpQuery object while for updates we pass them via a HttpContext object.
