Sebastian Nagel commented on NUTCH-827:
---------------------------------------
Looks promising:
- successfully crawled one protected site
- a second trial failed because the form element is referenced via "name"
attribute instead of "id". That's obviously ok, maybe old-style/deprecated (cf.
[[1|http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_name.asp]],
[[2|https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#Attributes]]).
I'll continue this trial to provide a fix/work-around.
- log level TRACE should provide sufficient information what goes wrong when
logging in
- config file to be committed should be {{conf/httpclient-auth.xml.template}}
instead of {{conf/httpclient-auth.xml}}

> Key: NUTCH-827
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-827
> Project: Nutch
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: protocol
> Affects Versions: 1.1, nutchgora
> Reporter: Jasper van Veghel
> Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: authentication
> Fix For: 2.4, 1.10
>
> Attachments: NUTCH-827-trunk.patch,
> http-client-form-authtication.patch, nutch-http-cookies.patch
>
>
> I've created a patch against the trunk which adds support for very
> rudimentary POST-based authentication support. It takes a link from
> nutch-site.xml with a site to POST to and its respective parameters
> (username, password, etc.). It then checks upon every request whether any
> cookies have been initialized, and if none have, it fetches them from the
> given link.
> This isn't perfect but Works For Me (TM) as I generally only need to retrieve
> results from a single domain and so have no cookie overlap (i.e. if the
> domain cookies expire, all cookies disappear from the HttpClient and I can
> simply re-fetch them). A natural improvement would be to be able to specify
> one particular cookie to check the expiration-date against. If anyone is
> interested in this beside me I'd be glad to put some more effort into making
> this more universally applicable.
