Erlend Garåsen commented on CONNECTORS-1564:
--------------------------------------------
Karl, some suggestions:
* I create a new ticket or rename this one (since this one is about preemptive
auth)
* I create a PR (eventually a patch — just have to check that my Apache
account still works)
* I'll start a thread about this by sending an email to the Solr list
I have already informed a Solr committer about the case.
> Support preemptive authentication to Solr connector

> Key: CONNECTORS-1564
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1564
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Lucene/SOLR connector
> Reporter: Erlend Garåsen
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: CONNECTORS-1564.patch

>
> We should post preemptively in case the Solr server requires basic
> authentication. This will make the communication between ManifoldCF and Solr
> much more effective instead of the following:
> * Send a HTTP POST request to Solr
> * Solr sends a 401 response
> * Send the same request, but with a "{{Authorization: Basic}}" header
> With preemptive authentication, we can send the header in the first request.
