in thread curl sends basic insted of ntlm

the problem was a bug in the version 4.12 of the module WWW::Curl which is used in the debian package libwww-perl-curl. the bug is fixed in the recent version of WWW::Curl http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SZBALINT/WWW-Curl-4.15/Changes

    Verified this works on WWW::Curl 4.15. I'm already going desperate trying to make LWP work against an NTLM-protected webserver until I saw this post. Problem solved in no time! Thanks, ++ for this!

Re^4: curl sends basic instead of digest
by Anonymous Monk on Jul 15, 2012 at 13:42 UTC
    I think I am seeing a similar issue with digest authentication My code... 
    $url      = 'http://localhost';
$user     = 'TBC';
$password = 'TBC';
$file     = 'IMG_6345.JPG';
@params   = ('file' => $file);

$curl = new WWW::Curl::Easy;

$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, $url);

$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 300);

$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$user:$password");

$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, \@params);

$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$body = $curl->perform;
print($body);
