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}} > HTTP POST Authentication > ------------------------ > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
