Bug ID: 163867
Summary: HTTP Basic Authentication not supported for
LanguageTool-Server
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Linguistic
Assignee: [email protected]

Dear LibreOffice community,
I recently set up a languagetool server on a remote host using an nginx reverse
proxy. In the reverse proxy you can ask for authentication before allowing a
request to go through to the languagetool HTTP server. I am not sure which
version is the earliest affected, but if you need that information, I could do
some tests.
Using the following curl command I can make requests to the server and get a
response:
> curl -u "user:password" --data "language=en-US&text=a simple test"
> https://example.com/v2/check
Libreoffice seems to not allow specifying credentials for HTTP basic auth and
it also seems to not work if I use the mostly deprecated method of specifying
the credentials like this and leaving the rest empty:
> Base URL: https://user:[email protected]/v2
Since this would be the only option to secure a (not local) languagetool
server, I'd deem this a necessary feature, at least for that usecase.
I might have also done the configuration wrong in Libreoffice, but I couldn't
really find the issue or any help on this online.
