What '--trace http' shows in log ?

--trace http,access (both)

It looks like you enter wrong username/password.

Definitely not. I've triple checked it, fetching cmd line from shell history I just remove "/special/srvid2" part and it works. If you look into #5391, it seems there are other people experiencing this issue, too.

HTH,
/HXZ

Do you have some special characters in your password? It seems that tvh does not understand your entered password from the command line (escaping issue?).

Sorry - I see the 403 problem also for firefox.. But the cmd authentication is wrong in your case.

In Firefox, I have tvh open in a pinned tab. So when I open "/special/srvid", it immediately sends (working) authentication without asking (again) for a password. TVh replies 403 instead serving the file.

No special characters in password which could (will) be a problem if not properly quoted.

Admin flag is also set for admin user.

HTH,
/HXZ

Confirm. Fixed in 4.3-1654~gd7669cf06.

We have a working srvid2, awesome

Thank you once more, Jaroslav
