#24584: port fetch should use a cookie jar -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.9.0 Component: base | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Some servers require a cookie to be set before they'll give you the download you request (for example websvn's server, tigris.org; see #24583). To accommodate this, `port fetch` should use a cookie jar. For example, if I try to fetch websvn-2.3.1.tar.gz normally, it keeps redirecting back and forth between two URLs and the download never completes: {{{ $ curl -L --max-redirs 10 -O http://websvn.tigris.org/files/documents/1380/47525/websvn-2.3.1.tar.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 322 100 322 0 0 101 0 0:00:03 0:00:03 --:--:-- 101 curl: (47) Maximum (10) redirects followed }}} But if I use a cookie jar, it works fine: {{{ curl -c /tmp/cookiejar -L --max-redirs 10 -O http://websvn.tigris.org/files/documents/1380/47525/websvn-2.3.1.tar.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 773k 100 773k 0 0 79601 0 0:00:09 0:00:09 --:--:-- 73025 }}} I imagine fixing this in MacPorts would just entail a small addition to src/pextlib1.0/curl.c to create a temporary file, pass it to curl using the CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option, and delete the temp file afterward. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24584> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
