Is anyone else experiencing an issue with using user:password in $urlget()? I have tried to reproduce SykO's issue but in my tests, $urlget() is correctly logging into password protected folders.

I have tried user:pass even on a url which returns a redirect and still had no problem

Might just be on my end, but I do find it weird that using the header directly works.

Hmm. If it isn't working for you, it will likely not work for others as well.

If you use SmartSniff to monitor http packets, can you see if mIRC is sending the Basic Authorization header? This will only be visible with http and not https. For https, you would need to install something like Fiddler (which installs a root certificate to enable https decryption).

Also, can you let me know the type of server you are logging into? Is it linux/windows/apache/cpanel/amazon/etc.? I might be able to set up a similar service to test it out.

Currently, $urlget() gives up after 10 redirects. It does not detect cyclical redirections. As far as I know, most browsers have a redirect limit of between 10 to 20 redirects. Instead of adding an option for this, I would rather make it behave in a standard way. I could increase the limit to 20 but 10 seems reasonable? I would not want to allow infinite redirects.


How about a switch to disable auto-redirects?

$urlget() does not process relative redirects properly. It seems to simply append the location to "scheme://domain/". It should instead construct an effective uri as described here:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.2
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.5

Bug 1: $urlget() reverts to default port (80/443) when processing relative redirect from non-default port: http://localhost:8080/

Bug 2: $urlget() does not construct effective request uri. A request to "/relative/sub" with a redirect "./sub2" should create a new request for "/relative/sub2"

Bug 3: $urlget() adds an extra "/" with relative redirect (same as bug 2 really, simply appending instead of constructing the effective uri)

I have tested $urlget() against an actual nginx server using relative redirects and against a local mirc implementation (below). Once the local servers are listening Chrome dev tools can be used to cross reference behavior: http://localhost:8080/relative

Thanks for testing these out.

Fixing these has turned out to be more complicated than I expected. I am trying to use standard windows APIs for URL parsing but their limitation means that I need to either write my own custom URL parsing routine, which is not advisable, or use a URL parsing library, of which many exist at differing levels of sophistication and size, ranging from tens of lines to thousands of lines of code. In addition, it's hard to know how well-tested these libraries are. Some of them implement recent security fixes.

As for relative redirects, again, I really should be using rfc-compatible, established, tested code instead of writing my own. I will need to look into this.

Thanks for the test script. The latest beta implements several changes to $urlget() that should fix the issues mentioned in your post.
