8558 Authentication Failure returns invalid HTTP Response (content-length incorrect) kubes@medictech.com jun66j5 I have install XmlRpcPlugin and HttpAuthPlugin, I am not sure, where exactly is the error. when I connect by my .NET client to the XmlRpc, I get this exception from request.GetResponse() (.NET method)\r\n\r\nI debugged it by fiddler HTTP debugger and I have found, that trac send wrong Content-Length (23bytes). It sends text "Authentication required" which is exactly 23bytes. But there is small HTML block appended, which cause, that content length is wrong. I can reproduce it with python 2.5 and python 2.7 as well. I have attached the output of fiddler, please see bellow. I find interesting, that the request is made via HTTP 1.1, but in repsonse HTTP 0.9 is mentioned.\r\n\r\n{{{\r\nPOST http://10.250.10.55/mew/login/xmlrpc HTTP/1.1\r\nContent-Type: text/xml\r\nUser-Agent: XML-RPC.NET\r\nHost: 10.250.10.55\r\nCookie: trac_session=2a1a01b9d7d8bcb3db9afc27\r\nContent-Length: 229\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n system.methodHelp\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ticket.getRecentChanges\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n}}}\r\n\r\n{{{\r\nHTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\r\nServer: tracd/0.12.2 Python/2.7\r\nDate: Wed, 02 Mar 2011 14:07:38 GMT\r\nWWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Control Panel"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\nPragma: no-cache\r\nCache-control: no-cache\r\nExpires: Fri, 01 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT\r\nContent-Length: 23\r\n\r\nAuthentication required\r\nError response\r\n\r\n\r\nError response
