images do not work when site requires authentication

Reported by: eric@petta-tech.com Assigned to: athomas
Priority: normal Component: PageToPdfPlugin
Severity: normal Keywords: attachments permissions
Cc: Trac Release: 0.10

Description

htmldoc does not know how to authenticate to sites requiring a login and password, which a Trac installation I use requires.

Therefore it's better to use absolute local paths ('file://' won't work for htmldoc, either).

I have a quick and dirty patch attached (w/hardcoded attachment path) that works for me. Somebody more familiar with Trac and Python should be able to modify it to support all repositories.

Another workaround is to configure your webserver not to ask for authentication when coming from the host itself. For example:

<Location "/trac">

Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 10.0.0.1 Satisfy Any

</Location>

Where 10.0.0.1 is the ip that the plugin is trying to access via http. This is what I am currently using and appears to be the easiest solution for me, since no users can open up a browser from the server itself.
