Unable to authenticate

[gardiol]

I run Silverbullet behind a NGINX reverse proxy that provides SSL + authentication. I use firefox on all my systems (latest release, 123.0.1 )

1. Open firefox and open "notes.mydomain.com", enter authentication in pop-up browser window
2. use Sulverbullet just fine
3. Close browser (which will clear authentication)
4. Open browser again and open "notes.mydomain.com" again, authentication popup doesn't appear
5. In dev console i see all referenced files are 401 unauthorized (which is correct since i didn't authorized...)

Works fine in Chrome, but that's not the point. In my experience this issue could be caused by cached files on the client, which seems to be the issue. Usually tough, at the first request the browser auth windows is displayed, not in this case.

I can provide access to my server if needed to repeat the issue (but in private, ofc).

As an added note, this happens also from Firefox mobile sometimes.

(i please ask not to reply "just use chrome" :) )

It's the same issue reported here:

More info: i totaly deleted my firefox session and started from a fresh one and the issue persist

So without having to replicate your setup, in the referenced commit I'm now checking for the 401 status and reloading the page as a result. I'm not sure this will actually help, but I'm not sure what else to do. Many auth layers will send a redirect header to the auth page, which SB will follow (SB's native authentication does this as well as authelia). But in case of a 401... not sure what it should do. I could show an alert, but... what then?

You can try this out on the edge builds: https://community.silverbullet.md/t/living-on-the-edge-builds/27

That might work i guess, but since i am on bare metal i cannot test a docker build right away, maybe you can share a ubild or i will wait until the commit makes to releases

AFAIK you can use: zefhemel/silverbullet:edge (https://community.silverbullet.md/t/living-on-the-edge-builds/27)

I've just updated the linked instructions for edge (https://community.silverbullet.md/t/living-on-the-edge-builds/27) to also include how to run this with straight Deno without using Docker.

things have improved, it might be fixed but i need some more time to test.
