SharePoint Server connection issue
Hi
When I am trying to connect to a sharepoint server using manifoldcf 2.8.1 I am getting following error.
The site at http://inv28webapps11/sites/portal did not exist or was external; skipping.
From my troubleshooting, going through some blogs and GitHub code, I found out the server is generating redirect response (http code 302).So it's printing this message.
Can you please suggest any workaround in order to connect to a SharePoint server that's generating redirect response.?
References for me to come to the conclusion.

and through chrome developer tools I found out server is indeed giving a 302 response.
sharepoint connection details:
Server SharePoint version:

Hi Chaitanya,
The appropriate plugin is required for ALL SharePoint versions from 2007
onward. That is why there is a SharePoint 2013 plugin that we distribute.
Can you point me to where in the docs it says otherwise?
In order to install the plugin, you must be running as an Admin user.
Other than that, we've never had any difficulty with people being able to
install our plugins.
Thanks,
Karl

RE: SharePoint Server connection issue

Hi Karl
As for the following doc I enabled debug level and collected sharepoint connection logs. I am able to see all the site content being crawled in the logs. (Attaching complete logs).
But it’s requesting for http://inv28webapps11/sites/portal/_vti_bin/MCPermissions.asmx which is resulting in 404 error (org.apache.axis.AxisFault: (404)HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found). Attached the logs corresponding to this in a separate file. Not able to see this file via browser also. So this should be the issue. How can I avoid requesting this.
My Sharepoint server is 2013 version. I also tried to install the apache sharepoint plugin on my sharepoint server to fix this issue. But It failed.
C:\apache_manifoldcfplugin\apache-manifoldcf-sharepoint-2013-plugin-0.1>"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
web server extensions\15\BIN\stsadm.exe" -o addsolution -filename "MetaCarta.SharePoint.MCPermissionsService.wsp"
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
MetaCarta.SharePoint.MCPermissionsService.wsp: The Solution installation failed.
C:\apache_manifoldcfplugin\apache-manifoldcf-sharepoint-2013-plugin-0.1>"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
web server extensions\15\BIN\stsadm.exe" -o execadmsvcjobs
The farm is unavailable.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
C:\apache_manifoldcfplugin\apache-manifoldcf-sharepoint-2013-plugin-0.1>"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
web server extensions\15\BIN\stsadm.exe" -o deploysolution -name "MetaCarta.SharePoint.MCPermissionsService.wsp" -immedi
ate -allowGacDeployment -force

C:\apache_manifoldcfplugin\apache-manifoldcf-sharepoint-2013-plugin-0.1>"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
web server extensions\15\BIN\stsadm.exe" -o execadmsvcjobs
If there is anyway we can access sharepoint server without installation of apache plugin it would be great. Because as per the doc it requires for only 2007 and 2010 versions. If there is no way can you please suggest how can I overcome the above failure. Thanks a lot for your help.
Thanks

I will need you to debug your connection by turning on httpclient wire
debugging. This document is, unfortunately, out of date, since our log4j
dependency is now log4j2 (with an xml configuration file). But this is
what you need to do to get information back in the log that you'd use to
diagnose why your connection is not working. The problem could be anything
from:
(a) no redirection is taking place still, to
(b) login credentials are incorrect in some way, to
(c) a whole slew of other possibilities.

Re: SharePoint Server connection issue
Posted by Karl Wright <da...@gmail.com>.
The SharePoint connector uses HttpClient's DefaultRedirectStrategy, as
described here:
https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/impl/client/DefaultRedirectStrategy.html
It looks like httpclient no longer automatically redirects POST requests
using this strategy; it should be LaxRedirectStrategy instead for that to
happen. I'll open a ticket and provide a patch.
