I'm trying to implement Basic Auth on my Flask application with the Flask-Login extension. Following the documentation i tried an example request loader, but it gives me a 401 Unauthorized error, while the soon to be depreciated header_loader works perfectly, so am i doing something wrong or is there a bug in the request_loader.
I use the following request_loader:
login_manager = LoginManager(app)
@login_manager.request_loader
def load_user_from_request(req):
print req.headers # just to see what happens
user = models.Werknemer.query.first() #this user exists, so it always returns a user
return user
My protected view:
@app.route("/test")
@login_required
def index():
return 'OK'
And my request code:
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
test_req = requests.get('http://localhost:5000/test', auth=HTTPBasicAuth('test', 'test'))
print test_req.content
when I run my request code it returns:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<title>401 Unauthorized</title>
<h1>Unauthorized</h1>
<p>The server could not verify that you are authorized to access the URL requested. You either supplied the wrong credentials (e.g. a bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.</p>
when I leave out the auth part of my request it returns my protected view. Why is flask not accepting the Basic auth header ?

I'm taking Pluralsight's course on this now and I got the same error. It worked after I corrected the syntax in the setup of the authentication.
# Configure authentication
login_manager = LoginManager()
login_manager.session_protection = 'strong'
login_manager.login_view = 'login'
login_manager.init_app(app)
I had typed the last line incorrectly and got the 404 error. Fixed the line and it worked.
