[12:34:22 EST(-0500)] <athena7> EricDalquist do you know what happened to the PasswordCachingUserInfoService? i can't seem to track it down in the trunk
[12:34:45 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> no I don't
[12:35:24 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> was something like that ever committed?
[13:02:20 EST(-0500)] <athena7> sorry i disappeared there
[13:02:25 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i guess i should check, hm.
[13:02:31 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i thought it was in the 3.0.x branch
[13:02:45 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> http://developer.ja-sig.org/source/qsearch/jasigsvn/?q=PasswordCachingUserInfoService
[13:02:49 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> fisheye has never seen it
[13:03:13 EST(-0500)] <athena7> wow.
[13:03:19 EST(-0500)] <athena7> that's no good (smile)
[13:03:52 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i guess it must have been something i wrote but haven't committed . . . .
[13:03:58 EST(-0500)] <athena7> probably for testing portlet code
[13:03:58 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok
[13:04:43 EST(-0500)] <athena7> do we have anything that will currently allow one to get the password into the portlet's userinfo map?
[13:05:03 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I don't know :/
[13:05:10 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah, looks like this was something i wrote specifically for unicon's showcase site
[13:05:15 EST(-0500)] <athena7> hm.
[13:06:12 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds like a good feature
[13:09:42 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah
[13:09:58 EST(-0500)] <athena7> definitely will want something so we can replay credentials where necessary
[14:48:25 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> Anyone knows if there is a difference on how up25x vs up3 passes the request object to a native up channel?
[14:48:46 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I don't believe there is
[14:48:59 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> Ok, then I need som advice
[14:49:41 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[14:50:59 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> Were running Esups channel CStockage (webdav client) in up251 and up3, in up3 the gets reaching the webdav-server have broken characters (åäö)
[14:52:34 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> I can fix this by applying a filter in uPortals web.xml that do setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") on every request
[14:53:21 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok ...
[14:53:40 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so requests coming through the portal targeting that channel have broken characters?
[14:53:58 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or is this channel running a webdav server on the side and requests to that have broken characters?
[14:54:03 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just not sure I follow
[14:54:41 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> It is when the channel CStockage i our uPortal 3 does a HTTP GET to the webdav server it has broken characters
[14:54:51 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah
[14:55:08 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well that is outside of the framework's functionality
[14:55:18 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that is a http request originating from the channel to an external entity
[14:55:30 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and it sounds like the default encoding on your OS or JVM isn't set to what you want
[14:55:48 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> Have checked that already.
[14:56:34 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> how does the channel determine what encoding to use on the request to the webdav server?
[14:56:40 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and this fitler you mentioned
[14:56:48 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> is that on the portal's web.xml?
[14:56:53 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> yes
[14:57:00 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and applies to all incoming requests?
[14:57:04 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> yes
[14:57:15 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> thats the problem
[14:57:29 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> I don't know what I break if I use it
[14:57:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> have you tried modifying the channel and changing the request encoding on the request it makes to the webdav server?
[14:58:53 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> the CStockage channel works like this: when I click a filname in the browser a javascript calls a hidden form that posts a filename (that the javascipt put in the form) and the channel then does a request to the webdav server
[14:59:17 EST(-0500)] <Tuomaz> Haven't dug so deep in the code yet
