Hi Kovid,

it seems I forgot something. Can you give me a hint?

I can do the following CLI command:

calibredb list --with-library "http://didel-dum:12345/" --fields=authors,title,*cod_y --username TestUser --password TestPw --for-machine>_y.txt

with this options I became the info forbidden or the username/password combination is incorrect:

calibredb list --with-library "http://didel-dum:12345/" --fields=authors,title,*cod_y --username TestUser --password stdin --for-machine>_y.txt

Same for the combination password file.
calibredb list --with-library "http://didel-dum:12345/" --fields=authors,title,*cod_y --username TestUser --password dideldum.txt --for-machine>_y.txt


I thought, this had work when I test it long time ago but now it seems I'm not able to get this running again with a password file.

Additional question, if I remember correct, I didn't need the switch --username if I use a file but maybe I am wrong. In the past I used a text file like dideldum.txt with a single line including username and password with a space between: TestUser TestPw.

I am a bit lost on this, as it seems that no combination will do what I like to do except the first version as command line with direct input.
