Hi,

sorry to bother you directly but i had some error trying to subscribe to 
mailing list

i run into a problem with lftp and http authentification and i would like to 
know if this
is a feature or a bug

i have https server that requires basic authentification

so i open lftp with
lftp https://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/~username/directory

this will generate a HEAD command for the server but the server will generate 
301 reply to redirect to
/~username/directory/ (note the last character)

lftp will try new HEAD to this new directory, but this time it will not send 
the username/password and
i get 401 reply with authentification error

if i do 
lftp https://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/~username/directory/
it comes there ok and "ls" works

however when i do "mirror some_dir" it will fail to recurse because it will 
forget the auth info on next redirect command

is there some workaround for this ?

i use lftp 3.3.5 on debian unstable with apache2

thanks for such a great client

Hujer
