[Klone-users] Bugs response_set_field

Tue Apr 29 10:22:46 EDT 2008

Hi,

I want to use basic authentication (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication).

But "set field" in response is not compatible with the "response_set_status"
:

*1) test.kl1*
===========================================================
<%
int a,b,c,d,e;
a=response_set_status(response, 401);
// result would be => HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required

b=response_set_field(response,"WWW-Authenticate", "Basic
realm=\"Identification\"");
// result would be => WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Identification"

c=response_set_field(response,"Cache-Control","no-cache");
// result would be => Cache-Control: no-cache

d=response_set_field(response,"Connection","close");
// result would be => Connection: close

e=response_enable_caching(response);

// io_printf(out,"Authorization
:'%s'\n",request_get_field(request,"Authorization"));
%>
===========================================================
The result value of a,b,c,d,e are OK (zero).

*2) The web-browser request* (tests also with telnet)
======================
GET /test.kl1 HTTP/1.0
======================

*
3) Receive response*
======================
HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Server: klone/2.1.0
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:46:02 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Expires: Mon, 1 Jan 1990 05:00:00 GMT
Pragma: no-cache

HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Server: klone/2.1.0

Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Expires: Mon, 1 Jan 1990 05:00:00 GMT
Pragma: no-cache

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"><html><head><title>401
Unauthorized</title></head>
<body><h1>Unauthorized</h1><p>URL: /test.kl1</p><hr><address>KLone/2.1.0 web
server - www.koanlogic.com
</address></body></html>
======================

*4) Attended response*
======================
HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:45:29 GMT
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Identification"
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: close
======================

There are two problems:
- the 'set_field' are not applied
- the default error page overload the 'set_status' function (while a 200
response of status do not disturb the use of 'set_field')

The 401 response of status is "necessary" for the 'WWW-Authenticate' header
field.

Thank you.
