Using UpUp with an .htaccess authentification

[LrntL]

Hi,

My current website is still under development. So I use an .htaccess authentication to restrict the access. Unfortunately, UpUp doesn't handle .htaccess authentication and accessing the site provide an 401 error.

After some reseach, some people (not using UpUp but hand made service worker) resolve this by using {'credentials': 'same-origin'} in fetch(), add() or addAll() methods. (See https://stackoverflow.com/a/47492920)

I change line 62 in upup.sw.js from : return new Request(urlToPrefetch, { mode: 'no-cors' });

to: return new Request(urlToPrefetch, { mode: 'no-cors', credentials: 'same-origin' });

And after clearing the cache, it seems to work. If this is the correct way to make UpUp working with .htaccess authentication, maybe this option could be added in the code.

Let me know if this sounds interesting Cheers. Laurent.

In fact, after checking, it is still not working... Seems to work with a homemade srvice worker but not with UpUp.

Any idea about using UpUp with htaccess auth ?

It should work in Chrome 77 which adds Service workers support basic HTTP authentication.
