CPAN misinterprets 404 status as 407 #13533
Comments
From perl-diddler@tlinx.orgCreated by perl-diddler@tlinx.orgWhen CPAN tries to fetch a module using LWP and if it is I've seen this before in other cases, but due to a recent The output generated when it couldn't find things was: law.Bliss> cpan Proxy authentication needed! (To reproduce, a bogus value in "urllist" like: 'urllist' => [q[http://mirrors.kernel.org/CPAN http://www.perl.com/CPAN/],q[http://www.perl.com/CPAN/]], can be used...) CPAN shouldn't equate '404' not found, with '407' (proxy_auth_required). (side note -- not the point of this bug, but would have circumvented In any event, unless it gets back a '407', it likely shouldn't be Perl Info

Data for 2013-12-20 If it was released with perl, then how is it not part of the Core Perl distribution? Is this because it is dual-"life"d? |
From perl-diddler@tlinx.orgBTW -- is perlbug part of the CORE distribution? If it was misdirected, it's a bug in perlbug -- as perlbug claimed it was part of 'core'. perlbug asked what part it was in: 'library', what module: CPAN then took the bug report. |

Would LWP prompt for user+passwd and say that to store them, permanently, use o conf proxy_user your_username + o conf proxy_pass your_password ?? I'd say that minimally, that implies CPAN. The HTTP error code is being reported correctly as 404 (since it is not found -- the proxy doesn't need user+pw). |
