I am wondering whether changes to pmwiki security introduced in beta 67 (or possibly a later change) may have broken the PublishPDF library's ability to request a PDF of a password-protected page. While I am still investigating the issue, I thought it best to seek an informed opinion early, as this is potentially a serious problem with the recipe, needing an urgent fix.
The problem as reported occurs when an authenticated user calls for a PDF of a password-protected page. The problem occurs both for password access (standard pmwiki security) and username/password (via authuser) access. The PDF comes back with "Password required" instead of the page's contents. This has worked with no problems for several years. <update> This has now been tested with pmwiki 2.2.1 and 2.2.0 beta 66 and the same problem occurs. So far, it has only been tested for password-protected pages. The only thing we can think of is that something in the hosting environment has changed and is rejecting the incoming request from the PDF server because it comes from a different IP address to that of the original authenticated session. </update> [snip] Any ideas?? -- John Rankin Affinity Limited T 64 4 495 3737 F 64 4 473 7991 021 RANKIN [email protected] www.affinity.co.nz _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
