Mass upload fils under 4.5.16 in FF with .htaccess protection
0%
Description
We use TYPO3 4.5.16 on a development site protected with .htaccess (complete webroot, protection with "AuthType Basic"), PHP Version is 5.3.3.
Since some days now it is not possible to use the mass flash uploader any more with firefox. In former times firefox/Flash requested the login data for htaccess authentification again, now there comes only an error message after selecting files (or only one file) for upload:
---------------------------
All of your uploads failed.
If this problem persists, please try another browser, contact your administrator or disable this "Flash Uploader" in your User Settings.
Detailed problem description:
The server returned the status code 401, which is related to a .htaccess file used for password protection on your server. Unfortunately this can not be handled by your browser's Flash plugin.
---------------------------
Firefox version is 13.0.1, Flash version is 11.3.300.262 on Win7pro 64bit.
But there is no problem when using the Internet Explorer (9) on the same operation system for the same TYPO3 installation to upload files using the mass uploader. And there is no login request, too...
Thanks,
André Spindler

Hi André
Obviously, Flash is not able to authenticate correctly. It seems that IE does it for the Flash-plugin.
You can add an exception in your .htaccess file to make it work in every browser. We do it the following way:
# Deny everything on this hostname SetEnvIfNoCase Host host\.domain\.tld passreq # Allow localhost SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Addr 127\.0\.0\.1 !passreq # Allow Flash Uploader SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "^\/typo3\/ajax\.php$" !passreq AuthName "Website-Preview" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/www-data/<path>/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null require valid-user Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Deny from env=passreq Satisfy any
This works perfectly.
I think, this is not a TYPO3-related issue.
Best regards
Lukas.
