Bug 38956 – [Gtk] http/tests/xmlhttprequest/basic-auth-default.html fails

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Page Loading

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

This means that loader doesn't preemptively send Basic credentials to directories that are known to be in a certain protection space.

This is not a bug per RFC 2616 - mostly a performance issue.

Fix basic authentication in WebKitGtk+

libsoup does support sending credentials to directories under known protection spaces. The problem was basically located in soup_uri_to_string() function used to create the request. That function never returns the password, that's why authentication fails. This patch provides a wrapper over that function that makes this test work properly.

Great patch. I have a few suggestions, but I like the way this fix is structured.

> +

I don't understand how this change is related. Was it included by accident?

> WebCore/platform/network/soup/ResourceRequestSoup.cpp:28
> +#include "UriSoup.h"

I think I'd prefer this include to be called SoupURI or SoupURIUtils to match the type name.

> WebCore/platform/network/soup/UriSoup.cpp:27
> +gchar*
> +uriSoupToStringWithPassword(SoupURI* soupUri)

No newline needed after the return type and the parameter should be soupURI. IMO, it should also be soupURITo<something> (see below).

Perhaps this method should just return a KURL. That might future-proof it in case soup ever starts including the password. It could just be something like this:

GOwnPtr<gchar> urlString(soup_uri_toString(soupURI));
KURL url(KURL(), String::fromUTF8(urlString.get()));
if (!soupURI->password)
    return url;
url->setPass(String::fromUTF8(soupURI->password);
return url;

You should also put a comment here with a link to the bug and a little text describing the issue.

There should just be an Igalia line here and 2010. :)

> +#include <libsoup/soup.h>

I'd prefer a forward declaration here instead of a libsoup include.

Actually it's not related but I think it's missing anyway.

Not strong feelings about that, but take into account that we currently have CookieJarSoup or GOwnPtrSoup. That was the reason why I chose uri before Soup.

I like your approach.

Ups, copy&paste badness I guess :)

This looks great! There are just a couple small issues.

I think all the SoupURI's and KURL's should be SoupURIs and KURLs.

How does this relate to the rest of the patch? It's very unclear to me. Perhaps a note in the ChangeLog at line 16.

> WebCore/platform/network/soup/SoupURIUtils.h:27
> +#ifndef UriSoup_h
> +#define UriSoup_h

You should update the header guard.
