Package: multiget Version: 1.2.0-3 Severity: normal hello,
I am trying to use 'multiget' to download from a password authenticated web site; when I initiate the transfer, I write the user/pass in the form; the server runs lighttpd; the authentication is the simple, plain one; the log reports 192.168.0.1 www.yyyy.org - [06/Mar/2012:17:35:27 +0000] "HEAD /zzz/bigfile.avi HTTP/1.1" 401 0 "http://etcetc" "Mozilla/4.0(compatible;MSIE 5.00;Windows 98)" Other web browsers, when they get the 401, then retry and send the user/pass; 'multiget' instead declares failure, and then waits 30 seconds and tries again, and so on forever. a. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (450, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages multiget depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.2 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.8-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.2-12 ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-6 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-12 ii libwxbase2.8-0 2.8.12.1-7 ii libwxgtk2.8-0 2.8.12.1-7 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-7 multiget recommends no packages. multiget suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
