Max Dzyuba commented on NUTCH-827: ---------------------------------- Hi Jasper, I've set up a script that does just that (receives POSTed data, sets a cookie, returns some data if the cookie is set), but now I have this error in my log: 2012-10-01 13:11:24,557 ERROR httpclient.Http - Cookie-based authentication failed; cookies will not be present for this request but an attempt to retrieve them will be made for the next one. 2012-10-01 13:11:24,682 ERROR httpclient.Http - Unable to retrieve login page; code = 200 The second line with response code 200 is what I don't understand. I'd appreciate any tips you could give in this regard. Thanks, Max > 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, nutchgora > Reporter: Jasper van Veghel > Priority: Minor > Labels: authentication > Fix For: 1.6 > > Attachments: nutch-http-cookies.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
