Hi guys,

i got the url "http://domain.tld/download.php?id=1337" which starts the download of an legit nzb (for eg) :
mynzb_{{PASSWORD}}.nzb

When putting the nzb in to my watched-folder, the download is added correctly and the password is recognized perfectly.

But when using the same URL within my rss feed, and adding/fetching the download from within the rss-tab in sabnzbd, it is NOT working.
The Download is added normally :

"Trying to fetch NZB from http://domain.tld/download.php?id=1337"

Shortly after this the download was added without recognizing the given password and is being stopped (as of my preferences).
So it seems to me the rss feed it self AND the nzb-file is working like it should. But somehow the password is not recognized when fetching the nzb via the rss-function of sabnzbd.

Is there maybe the possibility provide the password via the xml/rss (via some kind of header) ?

I really hope you can help :/

Thank you in advance!

We don't support passwords in RSS input, because we don't know of any indexer that uses this.
Indexers use either http headers or embed the password in the NZB.
SABnzbd supports both.

Thanks for your reply, shypike.

Good to know. Do you have any information on the HTTP method? How should the http header look like?

Thank you.

It ought to be X-DNZB-PASSWORD.
But currently that header is not supported either, since no one uses it.
I will put in 1.1.0 though.

That should do it, right?

$ curl -sI http://domain.tld/feeds/download.php?id=1790639 | grep ^X-DNZB
X-DNZB-PASSWORD: vgHdf2NJo5yhNM5adjcn

$ grep meta *nzb
<head><meta type='password'>vgHdf2NJo5yhNM5adjcn</meta></head>

Shypike, shouldn't the meta-tag already work? Or is this only for 1.1.0 that it will correctly show it?

It should, but when I checked the code, I see it isn't handled at all.
So for now only passwords inside an NZB will work.
We definitely need to put it in 1.1.0

Got a question where this X-DNZB-PASSWORD is coming from, if there's a spec anywhere?
But seems SAB's website is the only place where the X-DNZB standard is described? So shouldn't we add this new option?

It's used by some indexers, that all I know.
We should put on the wiki what we support, I guess.
