Authentication headers & firewall port redirection
As stated in an email some time before I ran into some problems concerning accessing my password protected Zope site. The situation: * Zope 2.2.2 runs on a web server called www.datadistilleries.com on port 8080 * the web site it offers is protected with Zope's own authentication mechanism * the firewall redirects any HTTP requests for www.datadistilleries.com/ddsn (i.e., port 80) to www.datadistilleries.com:8080/ddsn. However, one has to click 3 times on that Login link before the login dialog appears. Then it seems to build up a connection, but doesn't. I click on the login link again, and I'm in and everything works as expected. Now it seems that somehow the combination of Zope-generated authenticated headers and the firewall redirection rule do not match: does the header include URL information? That would imply it tries to access www.datadistilleries.com:8080/ddsn (Zope generated port) instead of plainly www.datadistilleries.com:80/ddsn (firewall listen port). BTW, it cannot run on port 80 because the default web server is already listening to that port. Question: is it possible to somehow make Zope send HTTP authentication headers that have port 80 included instead of port 8080? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
