hello!
I've got a bit of an odd issue and I don't expect a full on solution from this question as much as hoping someone knows something I don't.
I've got an issue getting a system I got running to download via HTTP when using HFS + basic authentication, I can't say much more about the system, which is why I can't expect any solutions.
The odd part is that running an apache HTTP server with basic authentication, the only difference I can see between the two in a wireshark packet that I can imagine being important is that HFS sends a set-cookie part. I was wondering if there is a way to make HFS neglect sending any cookie-related information? I've not been able to locate one, so I've gone here.
Normally my system sends a GET request with no authentication, when it recieves a "unauthorized" message it'll try another GET but with the correct authentication. However using HFS the second GET request simply doesn't go out. My thought is something related to the cookie causes it to go a bit haywire, so I'm hoping to find a way to disable it to test if my logic holds.
Second question - does HFS have some type of "time out" in terms of GET requests?
Thank you ahead of time for any help you give, it is very appriciated.
