Improved security by basic auth protection
« on: November 27, 2018, 04:43:52 PM »
Hi, I'm using Gunbot with a reverse proxy which can add a basic authentication to prevent hacks by bug in the application security layer. But if I enable basic authentication, it keeps popping up all the time while the site starts slowly to load (I can already see the HTML structure, top navigation etc - just the body doesnt appear). It seems to me that all ajax requests all the time don't send the authentication header so I need to enter it endless times (or it doesnt accept them).

Would be great if there is a config I can set to the ajax does work and I can keep to secure gunbot with basic authentication. Better safe than sorry.

The bot runs on a local port, that is, it can't accessed form Internet. No one had any security issue. Also you can run it on a virtual machine or on a VPS if you feel more comfortable.
