problem indexing password-protected directories

Hi all,

I am not able to spider a directory protected by .htaccess.

I have set up a test here:

http://testt:testt@www.php-web-devel...hpdig/main.php

...but the script just shows:

Code:

SITE : http://www.php-web-development.com/

Exclude paths :

- @NONE@

1:http://www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

(time : 00:00:00)

No link in temporary table



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



links found : 1

http://www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

Optimizing tables...

Indexing complete !

Indexing the same content with the .htaccess removed is no problem at all...

I'm using 1.6.2 vanilla and have tried setting PHPDIG_DEFAULT_INDEX to both true and false

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

TIA

Alex

Hi. Hmm. Perhaps instead of passing the username and password via the URL, it might work to look at the sites table in say phpMyAdmin, and for the protected site, add the username and password to that row of the table.

Hi Charter,

Thanks for your reply. I checked in phpMyAdmin and the user:pass combination had already been correctly parsed by the script and entered into the DB.

Any other ideas? If you try to index:

Code:

http://testt:testt@www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

..on your installation, do you get any links?

Thanks again,
Alex

Hi. Perhaps this is related to the problem posted here. Can you try and set self.parent.location to the absolute URL instead of the relative URL and see if that works?

Hi Charter,

I think I've worked out the problem....

It's not related to relative META and JS links - the same "site" spiders fine without the .htaccess

In fact, this is now spidering fine:

http://testt:testt@www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

BUT this isn't:
http://test%40domain.com:test@www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

and nor is this:

http://test@domain.com:test@www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

The first version sends an escaped "%40" so gets "access denied" as the incorrect user. The second example parses as "domain.com"

....so is there no way of sending an @ sign as part of a username?

Thanks for all your help...

Alex

Ooh, do tell what you did to get it to work. :)

I can understand the %40 not working, but the @ sounds like a regex issue. With http://test@domain.com:test@www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php is the username and password in the sites table now blank?

Hmm wish I knew. I tried it again. It worked. Sorry :mad:

Trying this in the spider box:

http://test@domain.com:test@php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

...attempts to spider http://domain.com/ :)

phpMyadmin says this:

15 http://www.php-web-development.com/ 20031022121122 test%40domain.com test 0 0

16 http://domain.com/ 20031022132030 test 0 0

(so "test" is interpreted as the username, with the pw blank)

Cheers,
Alex

Ah, okay, that'll help me track it down. I'll keep you posted.

alexp

I appreciate it...

You're welcome to use my test site to test with if you want.

http://www.php-web-development.com/testphpdig/main.php

the two valid user/pass combos are:

testt:testt

and

test@domain.com:test

The site is identical to the root domain, except for the .htaccess.

Thanks again,
Alex

Hi,

I have a problem with protected sites too. Maybe, I don't understand the tipps above (my english is not the best) phpdig 1.6.4 says:

Warning: file( http://...@www.vdoh.de/robots.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /is/htdocs/xyz/www.vdoh.de/inc/search/admin/robot_functions.php on line 553

The URL to index is like:

username and password are in the .htaccess

Hi. What do the .htaccess and .htpasswd files look like?

The .htaccess file should have something in it like so:

Code:

AuthUserFile /full/path/to/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName "Restricted Area"

AuthType Basic



require user Username

The .htpasswd file should have something in it like so:

Code:

Username:a1b2c3d4e5f6g

Oh sorry, username and password are in the .htpasswd, naturellement.

Okay, what can be the problem?

Hi. What HTML source output do you get when you run the following script?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$site = 'http://www.vdoh.de/';

$robots = file($site.'robots.txt');

for ($i=0; $i<count($robots); $i++) {

echo $robots[$i].'<br>';

}

?>

I get the following:

Code:

User-agent:*

<br>

<br>Allow: /

<br>

<br>

<br>

Yes, this was a test today.

The really content of robots.txt is:
User-agent: *
Disallow:

Charter

Hi. Please run the following. It may help me determine the problem.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$site = 'http://user:pass@www.vdoh.de/';

$robots = file($site.'robots.txt');

for ($i=0; $i<count($robots); $i++) {

echo $robots[$i].'<br>';

}

?>

What do you get? I get the following when viewing the HTML source:

Code:

User-agent: *

<br>Disallow:<br>

Also, do the username and password that you are using in the URL match those that are in the sites table for this site?
