5 Failure to authenticate on downloading podcasts - ID: 1936510

Last Update: Settings changed ( mi1ez )

Details:

I've had a paid podcast feed that requires authentication to log in. Up
until now, using the standard user:pass authentication in the URL was
fine.. but now they also enforce it on obtaining the actual podcast.

It appears that the feed list is updated successfully but repeatedly fails
when it finally goes to download the actual MP3 podcast--dropped a badly
named file that ends in .mp3 (but when you cat the mp3, it contains text
indicating that obtaining the file failed because you need to
authenticate).

On a command line, I am able to use wget --username=(my name)
--password=(password) '(URL that the RSS feed indicates)' to successfully
get the podcasts manually.

Date: 2008-05-07 01:56 Sender: stubouyer Miles, Can you send us the URL for the feed? I'll try to set up an account and work out why the downloads aren't getting the credential info. Cheers Stu
Date: 2008-05-06 04:06 Sender: mi1ez er.. sorry, that comment about setting up an auth system as a test server to try getting from was from me. (Mi1ez) Anyway.. let me know. Obrigado!
Date: 2008-05-06 04:04 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO I know that several podcast programs have recent made a fix to this problem specifically because of pay-for services that use authentication like this. If you want a test site with authentication set up in a similar manner to the service I get from, let me know and I can set up an RSS feed that works the same way. (I host a podcast myself.. so I can always mirror it to an auth system). :)
