I'm planning to use nutch to implement an intranet search engine. One of the sites being crawled is a Jira instance protected by form authentication. After reading the documentation and mailing list archive I've found out that nutch doesn't support form based authentication.
I would be very greatful if somebody could point me in the right direction in how to write a plugin that solves this problem. I guess it's not as easy as I imagine or else it would already been done, right? Regards, Magnus Grimsell
