Error 401 when trying to do operations in shared folder that is password protected.

[Attackly]

Hey,

when i want to access a password protected share like this

oc = owncloud.Client.from_public_link(theHost, folder_password=thepassword)
oc.list("")

I recive this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\me\PycharmProjects\pyocclienttest\main.py", line 4, in <module>
    oc.list("")
  File "C:\Users\me\PycharmProjects\pyocclienttest\venv\Lib\site-packages\owncloud\owncloud.py", line 469, in list
    res = self._make_dav_request('PROPFIND', path, headers=headers, data=data)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\me\PycharmProjects\pyocclienttest\venv\Lib\site-packages\owncloud\owncloud.py", line 1815, in _make_dav_request
    raise HTTPResponseError(res)
owncloud.owncloud.HTTPResponseError: HTTP error: 401

I have fiddled around a bit.
I got it to work by adding this header to the list and get_file function.
headers={"X-Requested-With" : "XMLHttpRequest"}

Does someone have the same problem or can confirm it?

Hi,
How did you add the header? You mean you added the header to the source or can you give the header to the client? I have the same error to a publicly shared nextcloud folder.
Edit:
Found it: oc._session.headers.update({"X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"})
