Username/password combinations longer than ~45 character cause gem uploads to fail #23

Closed HerbCSO closed 11 years ago

HerbCSO commented 11 years ago

If your username/password combination is longer than approximately 45 characters (varies a bit due to the variable encoding, depends on character content) then the authentication information stored in ~/.gem/nexus changes format from something like:

:authorization: Basic Y2Fgg3RlbsdfkcmVlc2Y2g6NlhNM1VyMyM0Q0QWZ2dCZ2eFk=

to something that looks like this:

:authorization: ! 'Basic Y2FydsfRlbi5kcmVlc2Jsdf2gxOmEfs3NoYXJhY3Rlclsdf3N3b3JkVGVzdGlu

  Zw=='

(contents changed to protect the innocent ;] ). In other words a ! is added after :authorization:, the string is wrapped in single quotes and it stretches over multiple lines.

When this happens, the gem upload ultimately fails with:

something went wrong - maybe (re)deployment is not allowed

Changing passwords to a shorter one and having it re-create the ~/.gem/nexus file results in a single-line :authorization: entry and gem upload works again.

Please enable the use of long username/password combinations.

just pushed a new nexus gem with the fix to rubygems.org. please reopen the issue if it stills gives you problems.

Awesome, thanks for the quick response!

Seems to work fine for me - thanks much for the update!
