HTTP Digest Authentication

Hello!

First and foremost: lftp is really great and especially fast!

I use it to retrive backups from a WebDAV server. I noticed that it 
doesn't seem to be possible to use digest
authentication, at least I can't find an option for it. Is this supported 
and if so how do I use it? For the
first server it's not that much of a problem, as it's https anyway, but 
the other one is only http and I would
like to have a bit more security than just basic authentication.

Thanks and regards,
Florian Schulze

more than one session downloading one file

Hi all,

I am just wondering what would happen if I have more than one lftp
session download from two places the same file at the same file.

Say I am dowloading foo from server bar1 and bar2 at the same
time, both using 'get -c' command. What is going to happen?

I am doing an experiment and one session tells me it has 46% done
and the other says 16%.

Thanks,

Liang

It looks like a bogus redirection. Note that double /pub/GNOME/pub/GNOME.

Thanks for report. The bug was introduced in 3.4.0. Here is a fix.

Recently I have changed method of checking for existence of a directory.
Now lftp uses PROPFIND by default (it is controlled by http:use-propfind setting).
For some reason, incoming.debian.org returns 404 Not Found error for PROPFIND
requests. A workaround would be to set http:use-propfind to no.

What should be the default for the setting? Opinions?

Hi Alexander.

Yes, I would be in favor of defaulting to the previous behaviour, as
I've noticed quite a lot of http servers not being usable with PROPFIND.

Thanks for your help (and your great work, as always) :)

cheers

Hello,
is there an other way to tell mirror do derefence symbolic links per

        alias m="mirror -L" like mirror-options?

Can't compile lftp when XML_ParserCreateNS in -lexpat... yes

Hello,

Lftp works fine on several of my Macs (darwin), but on one of my Mac's
when expat is present I can't compile lftp.  All of them have expat
installed.  But on the problem Mac, it detects:

checking for XML_ParserCreateNS in -lexpat... yes

whereas the others say "no" even though expat is installed.  Below is the
compile error I get on the problem Mac.   I can remove expat and lftp
installs on the problem Mac but I really need to have it on for other
apps.  Any idea how I can fix this?  Thanks.
