`proxyAuth` addon: Basic Auth semi-broken in 6.2
-
It seems that some things that use the Basic Auth method of authenticating with an app behind
proxyAuth
break on 6.2.In my case, I noticed at least 2 broken things:
- the Transmission search option in SickChill
- the Transmission Remote app for Android
I initially thought it was due to the new SickChill update (https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4698/link-with-transmission-seems-broken-in-the-last-version/2), but then I found out that the remote app was broken too.
It appears this is caused by some kind of redirection loop, as shown by this screenshot:
I guess this means the problem is that something changed with the proxyAuth addon in 6.2 compared to 6.0 in a way that breaks stuff. (I am not 100% sure if it worked on 6.1 or not, but I think it did work)
(I tried to put all the relevant information from the original thread in this one, but I may have missed a few details)
EDIT: it actually worked until at least March 12th, so it did work on 6.1.

@mehdi I had added a
basicAuth
flag to proxy auth addon after you had reported a possible security risk a while ago. I guess, we need to add that flag to sickchill? I don't have a way to test but can you just add this to manifest?"proxyAuth" : { "basicAuth": true }
Thanks!
