Description

Attempts to download files (i.e. GET /v1//pithos/filename.zip?X-Auth-Token=8tzIzdhNC4bHWYesr7+vNA== HTTP/1.1) result in an Access denied message being displayed. Astakos denies the authentication attempt.

Probably a failure to urldecode before passing on to Astakos for authentication. Web logs show that Pithos asks Astakos for authentication and recieves a 401.

Other activities (e.g. logging in and viewing the pithos page/file and directory listing) work fine.

Cookie contains token: _pithos2_a=test%40test.com%7C8tzIzdhNC4bHWYesr7*%2B*vNA%3D%3D

users without any %2B characters can download without any problems. Upon renewing the above token to a value without a %2B (+) character in it, this user can also download successfully.
