Description Ville Skyttä 2003-01-07 13:37:41 UTC 
Basic authentication seems to be broken in checklink.  It asks for password
correctly but the authentication never succeeds.
Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2003-01-07 13:41:32 UTC 
See also some discussion in bug 116.
Comment 2 Ralf Hauser 2003-01-08 00:26:06 UTC 
Just checked the equivalent with the validator - now, it also asks for
"Intranet" and no longer this concoction of the https-URL
"httpswwwprivaspherecom..." it did before, but it still works there...
Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2003-01-25 10:29:26 UTC 
I've found the problem; the online link checker won't currently send the
authentication outside the .w3.org domain.  This will need a configuration
option, so bug 127 blocks this one.
Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2003-02-02 14:05:32 UTC 
Fixed in CVS revision 3.6.2.5.
Comment 5 Ralf Hauser 2003-02-10 11:04:59 UTC 
When will v 3.6.2.5. be deployed?

Today, http://validator.w3.org/checklink still says version 3.6.2.3?
Comment 6 Ville Skyttä 2003-02-11 16:11:29 UTC 
Probably when validator 0.6.2 is out (whenever that'll be, shouldn't take too
long, though).
Comment 7 Ralf Hauser 2003-02-27 03:02:25 UTC 
still seeing 3.6.2.3   :(
Comment 8 Ville Skyttä 2003-02-27 10:32:14 UTC 
Yes.  Grab a newer version from CVS if you need it.
