[basex-talk] Issue with HTTP client and authentication

Hello,

I'm trying to post a SPARQL query to an endpoint using Digest authentication with the HTTP client.

The query works fine using curl:

curl --digest --user user:pass -X POST -d@'test.rq' \ -H "Content-type: application/sparql-query" \ 'http://example.org/sparql'

But the equivalent request in BaseX fails with 401 Unauthorized:

let $endpoint := "http://example.org/sparql" let $user := "user" let $pass := "pass" let $type := "application/sparql-query"

let $response := ( http:send-request( <http:request method="POST" href="{$endpoint}" username="{$user}" password="{$pass}" auth-method="Digest" send-authorization="true"> <http:header name="Content-Type" value="{$type}; charset=utf-8"/> <http:body media-type="{$type}">{ ``[ select * where {?s ?p ?o} limit 1 ]`` }</http:body> </http:request> ) ) return $response

Any ideas about what might be causing the BaseX HTTP client to be denied here?

Thanks in advance, Tim
