AW: [En-Nut-Discussion] Different passwords with CGI

[Adrian Slowik]

Hi,  

I mailed that problem (and a correction) half a year ago (think it was
Nut/OS 3.1). There is a problem in the authorization code that produces
a wrong number of padding bytes in some cases. This leads to an
authorization failure if the length of ("user:password") is not a multiple
of 3. Thus "root:root" works, but "root1:root1" does not. 

Kind regards, Adrian

Thus a quick workaround would be to use an extended username or password,
For example "ho:ho1"

Is there a way to do what I try to do here:

    NutRegisterAuth("cgi-bin/page1.cgi", "xyzzy:xyzzy");
    NutRegisterAuth("cgi-bin/page2.cgi", "ho:ho");

Best regards,
Lars H. Andersson
