Michael Osipov commented on CONNECTORS-1564: -------------------------------------------- [~reschke], why are you look at the servlet spec? *You* wrote the RFC 7230 and forth. It fully describes this header which is implemented in Tomcat. As far as I understand this is controlled mostly from the client with the header. RFC 7231, chapter 5.1.1. > Support preemptive authentication to Solr connector > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONNECTORS-1564 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1564 > Project: ManifoldCF > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Lucene/SOLR connector > Reporter: Erlend GarĂ¥sen > Assignee: Karl Wright > Priority: Major > Attachments: CONNECTORS-1564.patch > > > We should post preemptively in case the Solr server requires basic > authentication. This will make the communication between ManifoldCF and Solr > much more effective instead of the following: > * Send a HTTP POST request to Solr > * Solr sends a 401 response > * Send the same request, but with a "{{Authorization: Basic}}" header > With preemptive authentication, we can send the header in the first request. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
