Cannot use application password in rest api | ww.wp.xz.cn

Hello,

I’ve been using Simply Static for a while, and it works perfectly. I’m trying to automate the generation process using a script. I created an application password and used those credentials to send a POST request. Here’s my request:
curl -X POST https://mydomain.com/wp-json/simplystatic/v1/start-export -u "username:password"
I received a 200 OK response, but in the Simply Static logs, I noticed the following error:
[2024-08-13 00:32:22] [class-ss-archive-creation-job.php:324] Status message: [error] Missing Basic Auth credentials - you need to configure the Basic Auth credentials in Simply Static -> Settings -> Misc -> Basic Auth to continue the export.

Hey @aminemokaddem,

thanks for the report!

I think that’s something we need to look into for the next update.

I assume it happens because we check the global $_SERVER variables for PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW and auto-cancel the export if we find those, but Simply Static wasn’t configured to run with Basic Auth credentials.

So, to handle it we would basically need to include a check for Rest API calls here: https://github.com/Simply-Static/simply-static/blob/6ae3fb646099fa2df59e276404183f8aa545f3e6/src/class-ss-plugin.php#L213
