hello - this is mainly a note for the list archive on a new-to-me corner case and maybe a request to update some documentation.
after upgrading my nfsroot from jessie to buster (with its accompanying change to lftp) i noticed that there was now a "Password:" prompt when getting the list of all basefiles from a password-protected directory over https in task_extrbase. the issue appears to have been that since my $FAI_BASEFILEURL (the url includes user:pass) didn't have a trailing slash, nginx was issuing a 301 from /fai/basefiles to /fai/basefiles/ in response to lftp's `cls`. and for some reason buster's lftp puts up a prompt in that situation. in most places the documentation includes a trailing slash but it could be updated for consistency in e.g., https://wiki.fai-project.org/index. php/Variables and https://fai-project.org/fai-guide.html#_a_id_c3_a_the _configuration_space_and_its_subdirectories tia... andy -- andrew bezella <abeze...@archive.org> internet archive
