RE: connection closed on first attempt to send to IIS WebDav server

2013-12-16 Thread Boxer, Aaron
Oleg,

I managed to make the error go away by using "pre-emptive authentication" on 
the client:

" When enabling preemptive authentication using 
Sardine.enablePreemptiveAuthentication(String host), sending an authentication 
header before any challenge received by the server."

Thanks so much for your help,
Aaron

Aaron

I still think the culprit is Microsoft-IIS/7.5. It rejects the first
request as unauthenticated, which is fine, but it also closes the
connection without properly informing the client (by sending a HTTP/1.1
message without 'Connection: close' header).

Preemptive authentication helps work the problem around.

I still think the culprit is Microsoft-IIS/7.5. It rejects the first
request as unauthenticated, which is fine, but it also closes the
connection without properly informing the client (by sending a HTTP/1.1
message without 'Connection: close' header).

Preemptive authentication helps work the problem around.



Yes, I think you're right.  Sadly, IT insists on  using IIS, so I am stuck with 
this behaviour.
The workaround doesn't add too much overhead, so I guess I will use it.

Thanks again,
Aaron
