Authentication not working

[Pectojin]

What system is this running on, Python version, and the parameters provided?

I'm thinking it could be something related to the introduction of basic auth support right after 1ef7646, but I can't seem to replicate this on my system.

Are you able to reach http://duplicati:8200/login.cgi using for example cURL to make a post request?

# curl 'http://localhost:8200/login.cgi' --data 'get-nonce=1'

I'm running alpine linux 3.7.0 and python 3.6.3 .The only parameters I'm providing are in the parameters.yml file

password: secret-password
url: duplicati
verbose: True

Hmm, I have this replicated in a docker container running same alpine/python versions. Pretty odd it doesn't happen on Ubuntu 16.04/Python 3.6.3 or MacOS/Python 3.6.4. I'd expect Alpine to be more similar to Ubuntu than MacOS.

It's something I committed in 5b98a1c that's to blame, but I'll need to sit down tonight to figure out exactly what.

Now I understand nothing. I came back to troubleshoot the issue now and I can no longer replicate it.

Still running Alpine 3.7.0 + Python 3.6.3 in a docker container against my 2.0.3.6_canary Duplicati server.

It would fail every time, when I tested 8 hours ago, but now it works every time. Regardless of what version I use and regardless of whether I connect directly or through Apache.

Edit: It's worth noting that the 404 error comes directly from the Duplicati server so maybe it's external from the client?? My first assumption was that the client was somehow sending a GET instead of POST to SERVER/login.cgi, which only works if it's a POST request, but if that was the issue then it would be consistent...

I had the same behavior. It wasn't working, I came back a day later then it worked. I figured it was just a fluke or maybe I messed up my test environment, not remembering what state I left it in. But when I redeployed the docker duplicati client, it stopped working.
