Subject: Has WebFetcher changed?


Hi

I am using WebFetcher to get pages from our intranet.
Before we installed 1.8.0, it worked fine. However,
now it is complaining of an authorization error.

The error I get is:

  /tools/apps/ruby/ruby-1.8.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:392:in
  `fetch_1_2': unreachable document
  http://mrs.mycompany.com:1234/scripts/isynch.dll?panel=TclScript&Command=RunReport
  401 Authorization Required (WebFetcher::UnreachableDocumentError)
          from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:370:in
  `times'
          from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:370:in
  `fetch_1_2'
          from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:363:in
  `fetch'
          from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/webfetcher.rb:438:in
  `content'
          from ../lib/cypress/mrsreport.rb:44:in `fetch'
  

However, this works if I paste the URL into my browser.
I have tried adding basic authentication to the script with:

  "Authorization=#{"BASIC+" + ["name:passwd"].pack('m').strip}"


But, I still get the same error.

Any help would be appreciated.
