http plugin executing request twice?

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all,

this is an oddity on Servoy 7.4.x:
We want to post some data to a web service, using simple http authentication from a Servoy Smart client (Java 7, Windows):

This line of code

response = poster.executeRequest("myusername","myverysecretpassword");

This works fine we get a 201 Created response which we are expecting.

But if we check the logs of the web service, we see a failed attempt

Filter chain halted as #<Proc:0xbb52da8@/ .......... http_authentication.rb:112> rendered or redirected
Completed 401 Unauthorized in 4.7ms (ActiveRecord: 2.1ms)

Then a couple of seconds later we see

Completed 201 Created in 753.2ms

Servoy reports ignores the 401 and reports the 201.
We can see from the data we post that the post comes from the correct IP address, they have identical data. I can’t see if both requests include username/password.
Any ideas? Does the http plugin try to post without authentication first?

can you see in the logs the full request including the headers of the first and second one?
To see what the difference is?

in code i can’t see how there can be a second request (if you don’t do executeRequest() somewhere before)
(i can’t really fully look into the 3th party http client code)

but if you remove that one executeRequest() line then nothing happens to the server right?
