Then I stumbled upon this comment on Hudson forum http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Authenticating+scripted+clients Note that Hudson (at least when installed on a Debian server with apt-get) does not do any authorization negotiation. Ie. it immediately returns a 403 (Forbidden) response instead of a 401 (Unauthorized) response, so make sure to send the authentication information from the first request. So I decided to contribute some of my spare time and modified !HudsonTracPlugin.py to make things to work. Attached you will find modified source code. Hope that anyone could find this useful Thanks, MP " enhancement closed normal HudsonTracPlugin normal fixed 0.11
