HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized while requesting https://n5eil01u.ecs.nsidc.org ....

[alex-s-gardner]

Hi @evetion have you ever had an issue where the authentication just stops working. At first I thought it was an issue with Curl and that HTTP.download solved the problem but I was wrong.

SpaceLiDAR.download! was working great and then authentication stopped working

1. My .netrc looks as expected
2. I can download the file if I copy the url for the file into my browser so it's not a firewall issue

But neither SpaceLiDAR.download! nor HTTP.download will download from https://n5eil01u.ecs.nsidc.org

Here's the stack trace... doesn't show much except that the access request is Unauthorized

Thanks for creating an issue.

I suspect it's something on the server that changed? What worked for me is deleting the line machine n5eil01u.ecs.nsidc.org in my .netrc, only the line for urs.earthdata.nasa.gov needs to be specified.

So that worked for my MAC but my linux server throws a new error... digging into it.

easy_hooke looks like a typo?

[alex-s-gardner]

Oh man... you're totally right. I looked at that for over an hour :-(
