Re: [orion-dev] Logon to Orion with curl

Hi Christian,

The authentication is based on a session
token so that value needs to be present in subsequent HTTP calls. I don't
understand why your first pair of commands works while your second pair
doesn't though. You should be able to see from the contents of the cookies
file whether the initial authentication succeeded.

Logon to Orion with curl

Hi,

I would like to understand the REST API of orion. In the end I would
like to use nodejs/mocha. But to understand the protocol I start with
curl commands. My problem is that I cannot login correctly.

With the following coommands I can create a new user:

curl -c orion_cookies.txt -d 'store=Orion' -d 'login=user' -d
'password=secret' http://localhost:8080/login
curl -b orion_cookies.txt -H "Orion-Version:1" -d 'login=newuser'
-d
'password=anothersecret' http://localhost:8080/users

But know I want to login and then list all the workspaces. I try:

curl -c orion_cookies.txt -d 'store=Orion' -d 'login=user' -d
'password=secret' http://localhost:8080/login
curl -i -v -b orion_cookies.txt -H "EclipseWeb-Version: 1.0"
http://localhost:8080/workspace

In the second call I get a 302 response (attached below) redirecting
me to the login page. Strangely: If I modify orion_cookies.txt to
contain a valid JSESSIONID (got with firebug from a session in my
browser) then everything is ok. So: I conclude that my login is
incorrect. Any ideas?

Ciao
  Chris
