isso cannot send username and password

[gflohr]

My site uses auth_basic. When isso "connects" to the site, it gets a 404 but reports no errors. Subsequent Ajax requests by the browser will then also trigger a 404.

A simple workaround is to turn off auth basic for requests from the server running isso, for example in nginx you would do:

satify any;
allow 1.2.3.4:
auth_basic "your auth realm";
auth_basic_user_file "/path/to/users";

Since there is a workaround, a fix is not urgent. But it may make sense to document the problem. Besides, imho the initial connection from isso to the server should fail or at least spit out a warning. It is highly unlikely that any other request will succeed, when the intial request for "/" failed.

You're welcome to document this. But you're running quite an exotic setup.
