links which needs a authentication with user and password

[420Dope]

Hi, i don´t can use http links which needs a authentication with user and password. I have tried to put the user and password in the links like http://user:password@192.168.178.100 http://192.168.178.100?user=username&pass=password but nothing works.

How can i use links which needs a authentication? Or if this is not possible yet, maybe you can implement this?

Thank you for your great plugin!

Hello, as of RFC 1738 you should be able to use the format you have already mentioned: http://username:password@example.com What device are you trying to connect to?

However I could also implement authentication over the HTTP Authentication Header.

Hi, thanks for your fast answer. I use your plugin to controll my Enigma2 receiver over the OpenWebIF. With specific link i can change the channel, change vol. or turn on or off the receiver. { "accessory": "HTTP-SWITCH", "name": "Channel ProSieben", "switchType": "stateless", "timeout": 1000, "onUrl": "http://192.168.0.23/web/zap?sRef=1:0:19:EF75:3F9:1:C00000:0:0:0:" } With this Url the receiver switch the channel to "ProSieben".

It would be nice if you implement authentication over the HTTP Authentication Header.

Thanks again!

I published a new version v0.4.10 which includes a config option to specify credentials for basic http authentication. Would be great if you can try that one. For configuration please refer to the README

This is my config.json

] }

Okay, sorry that was my fault. Pushed another update.

Now it works!

Thank you very much for your work!

Great to hear. If you use the switch plugin also in instances where you have no authentication consider updating again (to version v0.4.12). Messed up the request mechanism for plugins who do not use the auth property 😅 everything fine again on v0.4.12 👍
