HTTP request header

I'm using nexus 1.2.1 war with apache 2.2.3 and Tomcat 5.5.25.

 

I need to get header information from the initial HTTP request.  I’m doing the following:

 

    HttpServletRequest servletRequest = ((ServletCall)((HttpRequest)request).getHttpCall()).getRequest();

    String email = (String)servletRequest.getHeader("Shib-InetOrgPerson-mail");

 

I should be getting an email address, but instead I’m getting a null.

 

I know I should be getting an email address because I wrote a simple jsp test web application (and deployed the test to that same container that nexus is deployed to) to test the header.

 

I’m doing something wrong.  Any ideas?

Well,

the code seems right (albeit dirty as I warned you) :)

Only thing I can say: the header is not there. Are you sure that you put the header into the _incoming_ request? Isn't that coming from the response header you send out to do the auth? (if I understood correctly).

Ie. Maven will never send an email in header, when requesting an artifact :)

I would love to get rid of:

 

HttpServletRequest servletRequest = ((ServletCall)((HttpRequest)request).getHttpCall()).getRequest();

 

And replace it with:

Hi,

 

I already tried:

    request.getAttributes().get( "REMOTE_USER" )

this returns null.

 

Any other ideas?  I’m at a loss.

Hi there,

to get _any_ http header, you can do:

Form form = (Form) request.getAttributes("org.restlet.http.headers");
String someHeader = form.getFirstValue("a-header");

Or something like that (wrote from top of my head, maybe wrong with
some method name but the idea is clear I hope).

The REMOTE_USER env variabla by
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html represents the
_authenticated_ user. That means, that REMOTE_USER will contain the
username that is an _authenticated_ request using. In restlet, you can
get that information like this:

String username = request.getChallengeResponse().getIdentifier();

Meaning: a HTTP Response will contain ChallengeResponse (either as
response to server's 401 or is doing a "preemptive" authentication).
Restlet will get the username for you, whatever auth is used (BASIC,
DIGEST, ...).


Hope helps,
~t~

username that is an _authenticated_ request using. In restlet, you can
get that information like this:

String username = request.getChallengeResponse().getIdentifier();

Meaning: a HTTP Response will contain ChallengeResponse (either as
response to server's 401 or is doing a "preemptive" authentication).
Restlet will get the username for you, whatever auth is used (BASIC,
DIGEST, ...).


Hope helps,

I'll give it a try today and get back to you.

Also, are you guys going to the Jave User Group meeting at M.I.T. on Monday?

Thanks,

Hi there,

to get _any_ http header, you can do:

Form form = (Form) request.getAttributes("org.restlet.http.headers");
String someHeader = form.getFirstValue("a-header");

Or something like that (wrote from top of my head, maybe wrong with
some method name but the idea is clear I hope).

The REMOTE_USER env variabla by
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html represents the
_authenticated_ user. That means, that REMOTE_USER will contain the
username that is an _authenticated_ request using. In restlet, you can
get that information like this:

String username = request.getChallengeResponse().getIdentifier();

Meaning: a HTTP Response will contain ChallengeResponse (either as
response to server's 401 or is doing a "preemptive" authentication).
Restlet will get the username for you, whatever auth is used (BASIC,
DIGEST, ...).


Hope helps,
~t~
