This works for all the usual suspects (sabnzbd, sickbeard, etc) - and works fine for Calibre too in general.
I have tried the 'full url' option and entering the above, but Calibre Companion won't connect.
I believe reverse proxies are in general ok - but what about those using basic auth? Any ideas on this one?
I thought I would post here first so that future searchers could benefit from the discussion as this is quite a common setup these days. |
Basic auth works fine. What doesn't work is putting the credentials into the URL. Instead, connect using a URL without credentials and wait for CC to ask you for a username and password.
Or are you using a double-password scheme, where the proxy demands credential set one and calibre demands credential set two? This kind of scheme will be a problem. The solution: turn off authentication on calibre and trust the reverse proxy. Or vice versa.
