Gallery Protocol version 2 and Gallery Remote

Hi All,

Not sure if this is a Gallery or Gallery remote issue ... here goes.

Basically if I login using Gallery Remote (latest version) I don't see any albums being fetched. A tweak to the Gallery code and the albums show up but are Read Only. This basically simulates behavior with Gallery Remote and Gallery version 2.0 I think.

Anyway, I trace things a little...

Below is the login sequence, request/response

OK, great I am logged in. Now lets fetch the albums

So, what gives.... Now it thinks I am a guest.... obiously the Albums will be Read Only if I am guest, but I just logged in as a registered user.
Anyway I still have to trace this a little more, but if anyone has any quick suggestions that would be cool.
Logging in as this user using the normal web interface works fine.

As a first impression.... I would say that Gallery Remote is not returning the session cookie!

Thanks,
Serge

Hi,

OK, so I have upgraded to Gallery 2.2 RC1 and Gallery Remote 1.5.1 b30.

Same problem and the protocol trace shows the same thing.

Thanks,
Serge

Hi Valiant,

You have lost me now. This is not from a log file, its a trace using a protocol sniffer. This is pretty much all there is to it except that before the login there is the test by Gallery Remote to figure out which protocol to use.

Are you looking for the debug file from Gallery Remote? What sort of info are you looking for?

I tried to check out the source for Gallery Remote to try and debug, but there are so many branches and tags in there that I don't know where to begin. I checked out TRUNK but it does not seem to correspond at all the Gallery Remote 1.5.1 b30

On top of that the java package names are mixed case (which is a real no no)..... guess how that messes with Windows!

Regards,
Serge

Here you go.

Serge

I agree and thats why I wanted to get the Gallery Remote code up and running in my dev environment so I could debug this issue.

I will try again with different source.

Thanks,
Serge

OK,

Narrowing this down to what might be a cookie parsing error in GR.

Serge

I now have a Gallery Remote working properly with my Albums showing up properly.

paour, I changed line 427 of Cookie.java like follows

cookie.domain.substring(1, dl-vl).indexOf('.') != -1)

since you seem to always (almost) be appending a "." leading to the domain.
see line 384

I am sure this is not a perfect fix but should work fine, I would be happy to discuss this further.

Thanks,
Serge

Hi,

From what I saw of the code in Gallery Remote I would still flag it as a GR issue.

I have attached my working Jar file to this thread. You should simply be able to unzip it and replace the old Jar file by this new one in your Gallery Install Dir.
Make a backup of the old Jar file of course in case things go bad.

Let me know if this works for you.

Serge

Hi,

Great, in your case this has worked.
In my case I still had the same problem using Gallery Remote Interface plugin to 1.0.8 so I still think there is a bug.
The real bummer about this bug from what I have seen is that it manifests itself as galleries being "Read Only" with older versions of GR and with the latest version of the GR the galleries simply do not show up at all.
This is because dispite correct login you still become a guest user because the cookie is not maintained...

Serge

I'm getting what I think is the same problem. I can successfully log into Gallery, but am getting no albums back. The debug log clearly shows that the guest user was the one the query was performed with.

I've tried dropping in the .jar from above, but it crashes.

I've attached the log from running Gallery Remote Debug.exe. Really really love remote - makes uploading a large number of pictures really easy, so would be great to get it working again.

If there's anything else I can do or add that would help - please let me know.
