--------------------------------
Summary: HTTP Post form authentication CookiePolicy configuration
Key: NUTCH-2280
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2280
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: protocol
Affects Versions: 1.11
Reporter: Steve Yao
Priority: Minor
The protocol-httpclient plugin supports HTTP form authentication with form
values post back to the assigned login URL and store the session cookie for
following content retrieving.
The httpclient default CookiePolicy setting is in use. This default setting
will reject cookie has domain set starting as ".", for example
domain=".domain.com". This kind of domain value could be accepted by most web
browsers.
I suggest to add an configurable option in conf/httpclient-auth.xml:
{code:xml}<credentials authMethod="formMethod" ...>
...
<loginCookie>
<policy>DEFAULT | BROWSER_COMPATIBILITY | NETSCAPE RFC_2109 |
RFC_2965</policy>
</loginCookie>
</credentials>{code}
Then, the httpclient could take this Cookie policy value.
I am working on a patch for this feature. But before i implement the
configuration format change, i would like to hear any other suggestions or
comments.
