I reported the bug upstream in http://bugs.plkr.org/1682 and upstream Requesting feedback about authorization in Python distiller. His text is: Reproduced. Still a bug. Does the Python parser support http authorization at the commandline? It seems when I wrote the help for the desktop I included it as a power user tip that could enter a https://myname:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [^] and it would work (as well as a note that that would now be in the http referrer making things less secure, and a mention to turn off stayondomain/stayonhost at least). When I go to the Plucker Desktop preferences pane and turn on the "Use console window" for spidering process, the https://myname:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [^] is mentioned but there is still a prompt for username then password. I am not sure if myname:[EMAIL PROTECTED] was in the parser and was taken out or was ever in the parser. It is sort of tough to commandline interact from a GUI app to a commandline parser after it is running, the only option I really see is that there would be something like --username=whatever --password=whatever passed into the arguments when start the spider if it wasn't there already (similar to the proxy settings?) Storing it as text (instead of at least hashed or in the OS's keychain) on a system is suboptimal, so I think it would be helpful to at least do the same on a GUI level as is for the proxy settings, that you can request to be prompted for the auth password. I look at plucker-build and I don't see it as an option. Marking this as feedback about authorization in the Python distiller. It looks like plucker-build does not allow to give a password on the command line. Maybe you can comment on this?
