HTTP POST Authentication
------------------------
Key: NUTCH-827
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-827
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: fetcher
Affects Versions: 1.1, 2.0
Reporter: Jasper van Veghel
Priority: Minor
I've created a patch against the trunk which adds support for very rudimentary
POST-based authentication support. It takes a link from nutch-site.xml with a
site to POST to and its respective parameters (username, password, etc.). It
then checks upon every request whether any cookies have been initialized, and
if none have, it fetches them from the given link.
This isn't perfect but Works For Me (TM) as I generally only need to retrieve
results from a single domain and so have no cookie overlap (i.e. if the domain
cookies expire, all cookies disappear from the HttpClient and I can simply
re-fetch them). A natural improvement would be to be able to specify one
particular cookie to check the expiration-date against. If anyone is interested
in this beside me I'd be glad to put some more effort into making this more
universally applicable.
