--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: mattcurry | Owner: mark_story
Type: Bug | Status: closed
Priority: Medium | Milestone: 1.2.x.x
Component: General | Version: 1.2 Final
Severity: Normal | Resolution: fixed
Keywords: httpsocket auth | Php_version: n/a
Cake_version: |
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Comment (by the_undefined):
This is wrong. 'basic' does not need to be capitalized.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1945#page-47 clearly states:
{{{
It uses an extensible,
case-insensitive token to identify the authentication scheme,
followed by a comma-separated list of attribute-value pairs which
carry the parameters necessary for achieving authentication via that
scheme.
}}}
So you should file a bug report at twitter or whatever weird framework /
webserver they might be using : ).

It's really sad to see my poor little HttpSocket being abused by garden
variety HTTP parser like that ... : (
PS: I'm leaving this closed because capitalizing 'basic' is allowed per
spec, but really we are fixing somebody elses bug here.
