Based on RDO documentation, when talking with https://review.rdoproject.org/ Gerrit we are supposed to use the API key from https://review.rdoproject.org/sf/user_settings.html page. Still, with my account this does not work and I always get 401 from Gerrit, even if I use HTTP Basic or Digest. I tried using gertty and had to enable full debugging in order to see discover this. gertty -d --debug-sync rdo config: - name: rdo url: https://review.rdoproject.org/r/ username: ssbarnea password: "..." # from https://review.rdoproject.org/sf/user_settings.html git-root: ~/rdo/ git-url: ssh://ssbarnea@review.rdoproject.org:29418 dburi: sqlite:////Users/ssbarnea/.config/gertty/rdo.db auth-type: basic socket: ~/.config/gertty/rdo.sock log-file: ~/.config/gertty/rdo.log Mainly what happens is: 2019-03-18 18:03:05,397 Starting new HTTPS connection (1): review.rdoproject.org:443 2019-03-18 18:03:06,081 https://review.rdoproject.org:443 "GET /r/a/config/server/version HTTP/1.1" 401 12 2019-03-18 18:03:06,082 HTTP status code: 401 This is not supposed to get a 401, and the same URL works from within the browser, but browser does not use same auth. Any idea about what is wrong? -- I even used curl with the same results. curl --user ssbarnea:xxx https://review.rdoproject.org/r/a/config/server/version Thanks Sorin
