Re: [gnome-shell-ext] Issues with basic authentication with Soup

[David Bonnal <david bonnal gmail com>]

Hi Mario,

Thanks I really appreciate your fast answer. And I joined the mailing list :)

I have tried using a basic authentication yes, Soup.AuthBasic (I hope this is the one that I should use though).

The repo you sent me is the right one yes, I created a branch called switch where I pushed my attempts. You need to change the user and password for trying it.

I think the Basic authentication should be good enough. I think my issue is that my request authenticating is correct and returns the right answer, but it seems like I cannot "keep the authentication alive" when I perform the POST request requiring the authentication.

I tried in SoapUI, having 2 requests: one for the authentication and the second doing the POST, and I get some JSON content, as expected.

Thanks for your support.

Best regards,

David

Hi David,

first of all, as an extension developer you might want to join this
(rather new) mailing list. This is the way we (the GNOME people) want
to keep touch with the extension developer community.

Second it would be good if you posted some code or published your
current working state in a separate branch in your git repository (http
s://github.com/bo32/gnome-shell-extension-duolingo-status is the one,
right?).

Which authentication are you trying? Is it BASIC auth or something
else?
