Title:
Download fails on already athenticated site
Status in Canonical System Image:
New
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have a personal website that I use Apache's AuthType Basic to authenticate.
From my phone ( Nexas 4 Mako OTA10 ) I can access the page and login OK. When
I download a file I get a HttpError: 401-Unathorized.
More in depth:
When I press the "GetFile" link Apache logs (in access.log):
192.168.0.67 - barry [14/May/2016:17:47:11 -0500] "GET
/briefcase/getfile.php?id=45 HTTP/1.1" 200 154936
"http://192.168.0.101/briefcase/index.php?tab=search"; "Mozilla/5.0
(Linux; Ubuntu 14.04 like Android 4.4) AppleWebKit/537.36
Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Mobile Safari/537.36"
On my phone the the Download Dialog pops up and I press download
apache logs
192.168.0.67 - - [14/May/2016:17:47:33 -0500] "GET
/briefcase/getfile.php?id=45 HTTP/1.1" 401 728
"http://192.168.0.101/briefcase/index.php?tab=search"; "Mozilla/5.0
(Linux; Ubuntu 14.04 like Android 4.4) AppleWebKit/537.36
Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Mobile Safari/537.36"
The difference is the first has my user name "barry" in it and the
second doesn't.
In comparison when doing the same thing from my desktop (14.04) and
FireFox Apache logs
192.168.0.2 - barry [14/May/2016:18:04:49 -0500] "GET
/briefcase/getfile.php?id=45 HTTP/1.1" 200 492086
"http://192.168.0.101/briefcase/index.php?tab=search"; "Mozilla/5.0
(X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0"
and displays the "What should FireFox do with this file" dialog and
Apache logs nothing further.
On my phone this behavior is the same whether I press "Download" or
"Choose an application" from the Download dialog. Also if I long press
the link and choose "Save link" the download fails also.
When I tried to download a file from a commercial site I have to log
into, the download succeeded. I suspect the difference is the
commercial site probably uses something beside "AuthType Basic".
I'm happy to provide any logs or to do more testing.
Thanks
