Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1564: ----------------------------------------- [~michael-o], we have zero control over whether/when this gets addressed in SolrJ. Previous interactions with the SolrJ developers do not make me feel like a fix would likely be a prompt one. But I suggest that [~erlendfg] at least take the step of opening a ticket. We can afford to wait until the next MCF release is imminent before taking any action, but if there's no resolution in sight then, I think we should implement the workaround for the time being. > 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 GarĂ¥sen > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
