Multiple "Can't read BIO_f_base64" in log #13

Closed abaldoni closed 1 year ago

abaldoni commented 1 year ago

We've started migrating our old pound-2.8 server to pound-4.8.90 Everything seems working fine but we have multiple "Can't read BIO_f_base64" warning in the log. Is this harmless? Is there something we should check? We compiled pound-4 with a buffer size of 8192 because some backend applications needed it.

Hi,

We've started migrating our old pound-2.8 server to pound-4.8.90 Everything seems working fine but we have multiple "Can't read BIO_f_base64" warning in the log.

This warning is emitted if pound is unable to decode the base64 value of an "Authorization: Basic" header. It is harmless, but I'd suggest ivestigating its cause: it might mean that the header is malformed.

Regards, Sergey
