getfield Parsing error

What kind of authentication are you using?

 

 

I think the REMOTE_USER field you're referring to is a CGI variable--not an actual HTTP header. For basic auth, this is parsed from the Authorization header. The format for this header is:

 

 

Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

 

 

Basic indicates the use of basic auth. The string after Basic is a base64 encoding of the username:password (Aladdin:open sesame, in this example).

 

 

You could use the HTTP::username command (Click here) to return the parsed and decoded username.

 

 

For details on basic auth you can check this wikipedia article:
