[Freeswitch-users] mod_xml_curl http POST is inconsistent/bug

[Anthony Minessale]

My guess is that we configure the curl to support the full range of http
auth methods.
Some of them like Digest require a challenge and realm etc so it's probably
asking without auth header because it cannot create one until it gets that
data.  In the case of Basic you can send the login and pass right away but
it does not know in advance that it will be basic.

Here is a snippet from the libcurl api docs:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both these options allow you to set multiple types (by ORing them together),
to make libcurl pick the most secure one out of the types the server/proxy
claims to support. This method does however add a round-trip since libcurl
must first ask the server what it supports:

 curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH,
 CURLAUTH_DIGEST|CURLAUTH_BASIC);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my guess is that if we set it to only support basic, then it would work
how you expect so if you want to test it for me I can make it into a
parameter.

edit: /usr/src/freeswitch.trunk/src/mod/xml_int/mod_xml_curl/mod_xml_curl.c
line 220
change

curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);

to

curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);


If this works i'll think about exposing the auth methods so you can choose
them in the config.
