Cannot authenticate with PUT

[CharlieReitzel]

Hello Yves,

GET works fine. The NTLM handshake completes on the same socket connection.

With PUT, however, the socket is closed with each challenge (Connection: close response header is sent).

On Apache, KeepAlive is not specified (default is on) and KeepAliveTimeout is set to 60 seconds (for debugging purposes).

Is this a known issue? Is it possible to get this to work?

Thanks,
Charlie

or POST

Never tested this, I will take a look when I find some times next days...

Ok, another data point: we had a test case that never worked with NTLM, namely a PUT (or POST) with the Expect: 100-Continue request header. Currently, I am seeing this header sent with all PUT and POST requests using NTLM. Note: we are seeing a change in behavior between Apache client 4.1.3 and 4.5.2. I tested a POST using a browser and it works fine, but does not use the Expect: 100-Continue header. I think this may be the real issue.

Apache client 4.1.3 and 4.5.2

What kind of client do you use? 4.x.x isn't a valid apache version number.

[CharlieReitzel]

Yes, those were valid releases of the Apache HttpComponents releases.
See http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi for 4.5.x (currently at 4.5.3 for HttpClient and 4.4.7 for HttpCore).

Earlier versions are still available, e.g.:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.httpcomponents/httpclient/4.5.2

For 4.1.x, see http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpclient/
