http basic auth ?

I am trying to load a document from an URL protected behind a basic HTTP 
auth. I am passing an url like "http://login:pass <at> host" to HTLoadToFile, 
and for some reason the Auth module doesn't pick up anything and I keep 
getting 'Authorization required' error.

The above syntax works fine for ftp protocol. But for http, should this 
work too? Or I should be parsing it and setting up the credentials myself?

linking problems

hello list

i`m tring to implement a  simaple function to download file useing the 
"HTLoadFile()" but i`m getting an error meassages from the linker
every time i have any ( well in the extent of what i checked)  of the libwww 
functin is in the code there are no problem with class or structs (again from 
what  i have checked) the error msg is :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [pkgadd] Error 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems like a missing library but i have no idea what library  i`m useing 
libwww-config for the library listing  that i give to the linker if anyone 
ANY insights please reply

Re: linking problems

Are you linking dynamically, or trying to do static linking?
If you are linking dynamically, using libwww-config --libs should work fine

HTRequest -- making multiple requests

We are using the HTRequest family of functions to try and make multiple
calls to a server.We have it working fine just sending one call to the
server and closing the connection. But there are times we'd like to send
several chunks to the server and receive chunks back. This is what we
are doing that is working fine for a single call. We tried changing the
HTRequest_addConnection to change the second parameter to "Keep-Alive"
instead of "close" in the hopes that would keep it open. But we still
could only send one chunk to the server. How do we change this to allow
multiple calls to the server?

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/uswitch.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "xmlrpc.h"

HTChunk * chunk = NULL;

PRIVATE int printer (const char *fmt, va_list pArgs) {}
PRIVATE int tracer (const char *fmt, va_list pArgs) {}

PUBLIC HTChunk * PostAnchorToChunk (HTParentAnchor *    source,
                          HTAnchor *             destination,
                          HTRequest *            request)

Memory Leaks (HTMemory_malloc)

Greetings and Happy New Year!

We have been experiencing crashes (over time, say after 10 consecutive
requests) in our HTTP client app that uses libwww.  This application
performs POSTs of XML documents via SSL.

Here is what dbx reports on Solaris 9:

error code -400 using URI with CGI-params ??

Hi all,

if I try to send a GET request with parameter (like
'http://www.bernhardtsweb.de?session=4711") over a proxy, I always get the
error number -400 in my own code sample and also in the LibWWW sample
'WinCom'!
The same request, sent directly without using proxy settings, the sample
operates perfect!

Does anyone have an idea, why a primitive HTTP request fails with an unknown
error (-400) by passing this request through a proxy?

Thanks for any answers!

How to use client authentication (client certificates) using HTSSL and libwww

Re: error code -400 using URI with CGI-params ??

I found my error: by using URI with form data, I have to put a slash ('/')
at the end of the URI:
wrong: http://www.bernhardtsweb.de?session=4711
ok: http://www.bernhardtsweb.de/?session=4711
Now, this request will operate with and without proxy!

Example Showxml does not compile on Cygwin

Hi,

I encounter problems compiling w3c-libwww-5.3.2 on CYGWIN_NT-5.1
1.3.18(0.69/3/2). I get the following error:

Making all in Examples
make[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/src/w3c-libwww-5.3.2/Library/Examples'
gcc-2 -g -O2    showxml.c   -o showxml
showxml.c:19: WWWLib.h: No such file or directory
showxml.c:20: WWWInit.h: No such file or directory
showxml.c:21: WWWXML.h: No such file or directory

The settings for gcc-2 are obviously incorrect.

libwww-config problem on Cygwin

Hi,

for static linking on CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.3.18(0.69/3/2) libwww-config prints
out -lwwwxml and -lwwwapp in the wrong order. By changing line 51 to

echo -L${exec_prefix}/lib  -lxmltok -lxmlparse    -lwwwinit -lwwwapp -lwwwxm
l -lwwwhtml -lwwwtelnet -lwwwnews -lwwwhttp -lwwwmime -lwwwgopher -lwwwftp -
lwwwfile -lwwwdir -lwwwcache -lwwwstream -lwwwmux -lwwwtrans -lwwwcore -lwww
utils -lmd5

the linking works fine. Please fix in next version.
