Re: BASIC authentication Netscape specific?

hello,

i've been following this and the dev list a bit, and it seems this was a bug in present at least in 3.1,
since then i belive it has been fixed in the daily builds.

im using a build from some days back and it seems to work(at least better than 3.0 and 3.1, you must test for yourself)

if you let apache do the auth, the getRemoteUser() methods and so on works fine, so you dont have to use the tomcat auth system if you dont want to. ( i myself want to use the tomcat stuff because i'm writing an auth method compatible with the ldap support of exchange)

The latest cvs does not even contain a file called
org/apache/tomcat/request/SimpleMapper.java, it's now
org/apache/tomcat/request/SimpleMapper1.java and the patch fails. Even
manually inspection does not show me where to install this patch.

ok, 

i belive there was some diffs sent out for this on the dev list a couple of days ago.
i know that it has been discussed there, so perhaps you could find the diffs and apply them.

look for this subject:

[PATCH] for two BASIC authentication bugs in 3.1

according to the replies, the architecture is changing, so the patch may no longer be relevant.

I grabbed the latest stuff from CVS on May 10th at 00:00 CST (-0600).
