> Hi,
> We have stumbled upon a problem with the Web Connector authentication in
> relation to IBM WebSEAL. We were unable to perform a successfully
> authentication against WebSEAL. After some time debugging we figured out the
> web connector sends out a "Expect:100 Continue" header and this is not
> supported by WebSEAL.
> [https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21626421
> ]1. Disabling the "Expect:100 Continue" functionality by putting
> setExpectedContinueEnabled to false in the "ThrottledFetcher.java" eventually
> solved the problem. The exact line can be found here:
>
> [https://github.com/apache/manifoldcf/blob/trunk/connectors/webcrawler/connector/src/main/java/org/apache/manifoldcf/crawler/connectors/webcrawler/ThrottledFetcher.java#L508]
> I'm not sure if this option is required for other environment, or that it can
> be disabled by default, or made configurable?
> 2. Another option would be to make the timeout configurable, as the WebSEAL
> docs state "The browser need to have some kind of timeout to to send the
> request body before exceeding intra-connection-timeout.". By default, the web
> connector request timeout exceeded the intra-connection-timeout of WebSEAL.
> What is the best way to proceed and get a fixed for this in the web connector?
> Kind regards,
> Ferdi
