I have posted a couple of threads on this forum and on the wireless forum about this. I thought this was just something involving the Canopy wireless AP, but it seems to be larger than that.
I used basic authentication to protect a test ‘index.html’ in the root of my apache server (the usual .htaccess/.htpasswd thing). Then I pointed IE at it from a windows box (http://192.168.254.117/index.html). I got the popup dialog, entered the un/pw entered in .htpasswd and tada! Hello World!
Then I tried to fetch that same file from a 3.10 box with the same username and password and I got ‘failure: 401 Authorization Required’
/tool fetch add=192.168.254.117 path=“index.html” port=80 mode=http user=“root” pass=“sparky” (I have tried it without quotes around the strings as well)
If I turn off the authorization by renaming the .htaccess file, tool fetch works just fine.
So, 2 questions:
- What’s up with tool fetch? Why is it giving a 401when trying to fetch a file that IE easily pulls? (I have tcpdumps of these trials taken on the Apache server)
- How do I make tool fetch echo the incoming file stream to the console? Is there a pipe of some sort I can use?
