#49 User Authentication Causes Push/Relay Transfers to Fail

[Alexander Craig]

When user authentication is enabled push and relay transfers will fail. This is because these transfer types emulate browser requests to perform file transfers, and the emulated requests will not carry an authenticated session ID (and will therefore be denied access by the AccessFilter). This could be easily fixed by modifying the AccessFilter to allow any request to access the upload, relay, and push servlets. However, allowing all requests to access the upload servlet circumvents the purpose of user authentication (allowing open access to the relay and push servlets should not be a problem however).
