I’m trying to get basic authentication to work with Ruby 1.8 and
WWW::Mechanize 0.7, and am having no luck:
require 'mechanize'
agent=WWW::Mechanize.new
agent.auth('foo', 'bar')
agent.get('http://192.168.20.10')
I get the following error:
WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError: 401 => Net::HTTPUnauthorized
Yes, I’m using the correct username and password. I can log in properly
via Firefox, just not with mechanize. How do I get basic authentication
to work in this instance?
Hi Todd.
“WWW::Mechanize#auth” is not basic authentication method.
Please try again by using “WWW::Mechanize#basic_auth” for basic
authentication.
require ‘mechanize’
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
agent.basic_auth(‘foo’, ‘bar’)
agent.get(‘http://192.168.20.10’ http://192.168.20.10’/)

I get exactly the same result with this method as well.

It occurs to me that there is no documented interface for selecting a
realm. Is this automagical, or am I supposed to set the realm somehow?
If so, how do I do that, and where is it documented?

For basic authentication, mechanize just delegates to net/http. Can you
add a logger to mechanize and send me your logs?
agent.log = Logger.new(STDOUT)
Is this against Apache? If so, could you send your config, and I’ll try
to reproduce the error.

the realm is presented by the server. This has nothing to do with the
client
in that sense.

Check the whole thread at WWW::Mechanize and basic_auth - Ruby - Ruby-Forum
It says you need agent.basic_auth(…), not agent.auth(…)

Hi, Thanks for the reply, appreciated it!
I did have tried basic_auth() as i did read the whole thread.
In fact in manual it says basic_auth() is an alias of auth() according
to http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/mechanize/Mechanize.html#M000229
Problem is mechanize or(net/http) is not sending the HTTP username and
password to the server, resulting server throws back 403 Forbidden
Error.
Now is it the bug on all requests are this is occasionally happening?

Mechanize has unit tests around its basic_auth functionality:
http://github.com/tenderlove/mechanize/blob/master/test/test_authenticate.rb#L9
If you’ve got a reproducible case that you can either put into
executable
code, or at least describe in detail, then please report the bug to the
mechanize mailing list for feedback:
http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mechanize-users
Thanks.
