Auth fails?

[PanMan]

Auth seems to fail, even when explicityly setting it in the call:

wp.users().auth("USER","PASS").me(); 

gives an empty object, while calling wp-json/users/me with basic auth with curl returns my user info.

Thanks for the report! I've been traveling for the US holiday, but I'll be able to take a look at this over the weekend (and should have a resolution for prior issues too).=

@kadamwhite any progress?
I'm suspecting the basic auth headers between this and curl differ slightly, but not 100% sure yet

@PanManAms I am not able to replicate; wp.users().auth('USER', 'PASS').me() returns the expected user object. What version (plugin repo version or github commit SHA) of the API and basic auth plugin are you using?

[PanMan]

It seemed to have something to do with the server settings on the wordpress end. This now works..

Great, glad to hear it! I have a fix for #84 as well, I'm just testing it before merging and releasing 0.3.1.

Which server settings, if I may ask? I'm having issues to authenticate...

[kadamwhite]

@sebastienbarre what sort of trouble are you running into? Can you let us know the version of the WP-API plugin and basic Auth plugin you are using, and what server you are using? (E.g. Apache vs Nginx?)

Thanks for the quick reply @kadamwhite.
The issue comes from WP-API/Basic-Auth, which needs to be patched to support PHP in CGI/FastCGI mode. A PR was submitted back in March, this would be greatly helpful.
