Hi,
following discussions about username and passwords, I made some
experiments with REBOL 2.2.0.3.1, Windows NT and IIS 4.
It appears that REBOL crashes randomly when length of username and
password (i.e. length? rejoin [username password]) is smaller than 11
characters, no matter if the password is valid or not.
Valid usernames and passwords for my test system are:
webuser,login ; longer than 10 characters
webuse2,log ; 10 characters
Here are the results, I use loop because the crashes are somewhat
random.
>> loop 10 [ error? try [ a: read [ scheme: 'http user: "webuser" pass: "login" host:
>"localhost" path: "/" ] ] ]
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
== false
No crash here.
>> loop 10 [ error? try [ a: read [ scheme: 'http user: "webuser" pass: "logi" host:
>"localhost" path: "/" ] ] ]
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
== true
The user cannot read the page with invalid password, REBOL does not
crash.
>> loop 10 [ error? try [ a: read [ scheme: 'http user: "webuser" pass: "log" host:
>"localhost" path: "/" ] ] ]
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
The user cannot read the page with invalid password, REBOL sometimes
crashes and sometimes waits infinitely.
>> loop 10 [ error? try [ a: read [ scheme: 'http user: "webuse2" pass: "log" host:
>"localhost" path: "/" ] ] ]
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
connecting to: localhost
The user can read the page with valid password, but REBOL crashes.
