Details how what is going wrong, where it is going wrong and how to fix it.
I am trying to use curl for a http request.
I have to use it behind a enterprise proxy server. The remote host uses digest authentication.
I am using the following curl command.
curl -x "http://proxy_username:proxy_pass#proxyIp.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080" -L -X GET "https://remote-host.something.com:443/tomcat_servlet/UploadServlet" --digest -u digest_auth_user:digest_auth_pass -v -k
But I get 400 bad request from apache httpd. The full output from curl is
* Trying proxyIp.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080...
* Connected to proxyIp.xxx.xxx.xxx (proxyIp.xxx.xxx.xxx) port 8080 (#0)
* allocate connect buffer
* Establish HTTP proxy tunnel to remote-host.something.com:443
* Proxy auth using Basic with user 'proxy_username'
* Server auth using Digest with user 'digest_auth_user'

Is the server side, I get the following in httpd log.
[auth_digest:error] [pid 3052:tid 1928] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx] AH01786: uri mismatch - </tomcat_servlet/UploadServlet?swg_a2bc=1> does not match request-uri </tomcat_servlet/UploadServlet>
Indeed, cURL is adding some query it is getting from the proxy server in the authentication header.
Settings of my httpd
<Location /tomcat_servlet>
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/tomcat_servlet
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/tomcat_servlet
AuthType Digest
AuthName https_transfer
AuthUserFile ${SRVROOT}/conf/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Location>
How do I use cURL in this situation? Or should I change some settings in the httpd side?
