extract_auth_types - shortening strings

[jdrozdnovak]

Hello
This lambda function https://github.com/python-caldav/caldav/blob/master/caldav/davclient.py#L553 not works ideally when having simple headers like www-authenticate: Basic
I don't know enough about other caldav environments to do a change myself. I have only 2 available for test.

what the extract_auth_types returns in my case is ['basi'] which fails the future "basic" in auth_type condition

Thanks for reviewing.

Weird - I would have expected some of my test servers to fail, and people from the homeassistant community to be whining a lot if basic auth was broken.

This code section seems to be missing unit tests, so I'll try to write up some and possibly see if I can reproduce the problem.

[tobixen]

I can reproduce it.

This bug has been there since 1.0 actually, it wasn't introduced in 1.1. I suppose almost all servers with basic auth have a realm in the header.

@jdrozdnovak ...

It would be nice if you could test and see if the master branch solves the problem for you - or, if it's possible to make me a testing account on your caldav server allowing me to test it myself it would be great.

Since this is a considered to be a critical bugfix, I will roll out a new minor-release soon - I should just run the test code first towards a handful of servers. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the fix does not break anything.

I can tomorrow test it with master and let you know.
I am using monicahq, where it fails.

docker run --name some-monica -d -p 8080:80 monica

Ok, thanks

[jdrozdnovak]

I tested it with the code in master branch and that works fine.

[tobixen]

I'm running tests and will release 1.1.4 during the day probably

thank you very much! Have great sunday!
