Bug #4542
Access denied to status.xml (401 HTTP Error)
0%
Description
Get an 401 HTTP Error (unauthorized) when I try to read the status.xml of tvheadend via http even when I was logged in (as admin) in the user interface.
http://ip.of.tvh:9981/status.xml
I check the content of status.xml in my kodi addon (TVH Recording Manager). I would be very grateful if this works again.

If you do HTTP requests, then almost all URLs are handled through ACL, so make sure that your client sends valid credentals (username, password) to TVH (basic or digest auth) in the HTTP request.

Updated by B. J. over 7 years ago
Yes but all login requests are rejected if you directly point to <tvh.server>:9981/status.xml
I don't use browser filtering. I can login into the UI of course.

Yes, I have updated this today in the morning via apt-get. My sources.list:
deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb trusty unstable
@Jaroslav Kysela: wget doesn't work.
First try - point to status.xml (I have replaced login/pw with ***):
kodi@mk-xbmc2:~$ wget http://*****:*****@mk-pc-futro01/status.xml --2017-08-23 08:57:52-- http://futro:*password*@mk-pc-futro01/status.xml Resolving mk-pc-futro01 (mk-pc-futro01)... 141.55.210.208 Connecting to mk-pc-futro01 (mk-pc-futro01)|141.55.210.208|:80... failed: Connection refused. kodi@mk-xbmc2:~$ wget http://futro:futro@mk-pc-futro01:9981/status.xml --2017-08-23 08:58:17-- http://futro:*password*@mk-pc-futro01:9981/status.xml Resolving mk-pc-futro01 (mk-pc-futro01)... 141.55.210.208 Connecting to mk-pc-futro01 (mk-pc-futro01)|141.55.210.208|:9981... connected.

Second try, directly to extjs.html (login/pw are the same):
