Is there some trick to getting the authorization to work in the TIdHTTPServer?
In my OnCommandGet I have an inlined function, AuthUser, that looks like this:
//----------
function AuthUser : boolean;
begin
if bHTTPRequireAuth then
begin
if ARequestInfo.AuthExists then
begin
if (ARequestInfo.AuthUsername
(ARequestInfo.AuthPassword
result := true
else
result := false;
end
else
result := false;
end
else
result := true;
end;
//----------
This always returns false because ARequestInfo.AuthExists is always false. I've tried passing the auth info along in the URL with IE, via say http://user:pass@localhost
When this happens, I do the following :
//----------
if AuthUser then
begin
//...
end
else
begin
AResponseInfo.ResponseNo := 401;
AResponseInfo.ContentText := '<html><head><title>No Authorization</title></hea
AResponseInfo.WriteHeader;
AResponseInfo.WriteContent
end;
//----------
It's also my understanding that a 401 should cause IE to pop up the auth dialog box prompting for a username and password, but it doesn't. Leaving ContentText blank gives me the same result.. a different page displayed "401 unauthorized" or something like that, but no auth popup box.
Can someone throw me a bone here? And look at my other DSPack related questions if you're familiar with DSPack. 1000 points each for three of them, one of them has been answered and another one might be, but there's still one left. ;)

I happened to be working with that last night and it worked fine for me, I'm not at home at the moment so I can't check my code but what I did was simply use the code provided in the HTTPD demo that comes with Indy.
You might have to download them seperatly from the website you mentioned in your second post but there's a demo on a http server -with- authentication (which works fine..) in there..
good luck

I should've said TIdHTTPServer is an Indy component. I'm using the latest version, 9.0.11, with Delphi 6 Enterprise.
Sorry I left out that crucial detail. ;)
Indy is from http://www.nevrona.com/ind
