Basic authentication not working

[dlip]

I have a private registry with basic authentication, but for some reason the following code doesn't work:

import docker
client = docker.Client()
print client.login("myuser", password="mypassword", email="test@test.com", registry="docker.mytrax.co.jp")
print client.pull("docker.mytrax.co.jp/mytraxwp-app", tag="latest")

{u'Status': u'Login Succeeded'}
{"status":"Pulling repository docker.mytrax.co.jp/mytraxwp-app"}
{"errorDetail":{"message":"Authentication is required."},"error":"Authentication is required."}

My Nginx log says:

 - - [13/Jun/2014:07:09:05 +0000] "GET /v1/_ping HTTP/1.1" 200 4 "-" "Go 1.1 package http"

I have gotten it working by changing
registry="docker.mytrax.co.jp" to registry="https://docker.mytrax.co.jp/v1/".

I'm not sure why its so sensitive, but these say login succeeded, but I can't pull:

docker.mytrax.co.jp

https://docker.mytrax.co.jp

Yeah, the whole auth is kind of designed that way. I'm sure there's something smart we could do here, but it's not a huge priority. If you want to contribute I'd be happy to merge a patch that improves this behavior.

Thanks!

That did the trick indeed 👍

I have the same problem
it is in the requests library docker-py use this for ping(if site is online)

if i use request from my mac:

>>> import requests
>>> requests.get("https://index.onegini.com/v1/_ping", timeout=3)
<Response [200]>

and in my VM

>>> import requests
>>> requests.get("https://index.onegini.com", timeout=3)
<Response [503]>

So there is a problem

Also the request from my MAC is forward by HAProxy to the docker index but from my VM not.
I see the request in my HAProxy but not in the docker index.

Didn't you mean to use /v1/_ping in the command executed inside the VM too?

I got this problem, too.
If I set registry without '/v1/', client told me that I had successfully logged in, but I couldn't do any push / pull. It seems I have to set registry ends with '/v1/'... Don't you think it weird?
