Hi,
I work actually on a framework to manage a Proxmox server. The Proxmox solution
is based on a strange REST API… :-(
To get informations about an user, I must send a string with the login and the
authentication domain. The two values are separated by a character @.
For example: GET /api2/extjs/access/users/auverlot@LIFL
My first problem with Zinc is that the client find the character @ and the
client think that this is an URL with authentication. I tried to use an
encoding string with %40 but Proxmox don't find the user.
The solution must be to modify the method ZnUrl>>#parseAuthority:from:to: to do
a better detection of authentication pattern:
parseAuthority: string from: start to: stop
| index |
index := string indexOf: $@ startingAt: start.
(index > 0 and: [ (string indexOf: $: startingAt: start) < index and: [
index < (string indexOf: $/ startingAt: start) ] ])
ifTrue: [
self parseUserInfo: (ReadStream on: string from: start
to: index - 1).
self parseHostPort: (ReadStream on: string from: index
1 to: stop )
]
ifFalse: [ self parseHostPort: (ReadStream on: string from:
start to: stop ) ]
But, it's not the end of the road :-( Because in the next steps, Zinc encodes
the character @ in the url. How to disabled the automatic encoding and using
special characters in the url ?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Olivier ;-)
