Since it works now, it is clear, that the line-breaks caused you troubles. The line-breaks are usual for base64 encoders (GNU uuencode, tcllib base64::encode, ...), so ns_base64encode is just compatible with these. The code in OpenACS, that David has pointed to, has therefore exactly the same problem, when the encoded string starts to contain line breaks. Usually userid+password are not so long as in your case, so this bug was not noticed before. -gn > >> On Raj. 13, 1442 AH, at 00:03, Gustaf Neumann <ne...@wu... >> <mailto:ne...@wu...>> wrote: >> >> Dear Iuri, >> >> The problem, you are probably facing is probably that ns_base64encode >> produces line breaks as required for MIME encoded text strings [1]. >> >> % ns_base64encode Afrewf564DFSFSF54jgnfhgGDGdfRGRT43:7584fjhfjhf84jkrugrefAFFD9449474 >> QWZyZXdmNTY0REZTRlNGNTRqZ25maGdHREdkZlJHUlQ0Mzo3NTg0ZmpoZmpo >> Zjg0amtydWdyZWZBRkZEOTQ0OTQ3NA== >> >> Converting to and from a string with these linebreaks should be fine >> for all base64 codecs (you see, colon is not the problem) >> >> % ns_base64decode [ns_base64encode Afrewf564DFSFSF54jgnfhgGDGdfRGRT43:7584fjhfjhf84jkrugrefAFFD9449474] >> Afrewf564DFSFSF54jgnfhgGDGdfRGRT43:7584fjhfjhf84jkrugrefAFFD9449474 >> But probably, the header field has problems with linebreaks. >> Therefore, simply remove the newlines by e.g. >> set credentials [join [ns_base64encode Afrewf564DFSFSF54jgnfhgGDGdfRGRT43:7584fjhfjhf84jkrugrefAFFD9449474] ""] >> set req_headers [ns_set create headers Authorization "Basic $credentials"] >> >> All the best >> -g >> >> PS: In order to see, what is sent via and and/or node, use tcpdump >> and/or wireshark, then you do not have to do any guessing, what is >> exactly sent by which command in which implementation.... >> >> [1] >> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/447191/whats-the-right-way-to-base64-encode-a-binary-file-on-centos-7#:~:text=base64%20inserts%20line%20breaks%20after,Transfer%2DEncoding%20for%20emails). >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> naviserver-devel mailing list >> nav...@li... >> <mailto:nav...@li...> >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/naviserver-devel > > > > _______________________________________________ > naviserver-devel mailing list > nav...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/naviserver-devel -- Univ.Prof. Dr. Gustaf Neumann Head of the Institute of Information Systems and New Media of Vienna University of Economics and Business Program Director of MSc "Information Systems" |
