JobTracker Doesn't work on secure clusters

This doesn't work on a secure cluster. I'm assuming this is by design since there is nowhere to enter credentials in order to access the JobTracker.

Yeah, I wrote this originally for our internal cluster at Etsy, which is behind a VPN and has no additional authentication. How is the authentication done in a secure cluster? I could make an attempt at adding it, although I'd be flying blind.

A cluster running in secure mode uses Kerberos, but I'm 99% sure that it is handled on the web server as part of the user's session so you would just need to authenticate the user to the server.

Does it work if you put it in the JobTracker URL? e.g. http://:@some.com/.... I know that's not ideal, but that will at least tell me if it's just Basic Auth.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Based on the redirects I'm seeing it looks like we might be proxying JT with Hue. I don't think this is going to be easy, but it could also be because of our environment.

Well, if you can provide me code (in any language) that successfully grabs the JobTracker HTML in your environment, I can probably implement it.

I'll see what I can do. Do you have a preference of language?

No preference. Just not brainf*ck, please. :)
