Research direction

Start by comparing the created popup.html and popup.html.acl with common/popup.html, then read the solid-auth-client setup referenced in the issue. Document how public access should be configured, why common/popup.html behaves differently, and whether an unminified version exists.

Description

question

Hey Guys

Recently i tried to access my popup.html (located in the root of the server) with:

solid.auth.popupLogin({ popupUri: 'https://localhost:8443/popup.html' }) from my app.

But now i get an error which says:

The resource you are trying to access (https://localhost:8443/popup.html) requires you to log in.

And when im logged in:

You are currently logged in as https://adminjerome.localhost:8443/profile/card#me, but do not have permission to access https://localhost:8443/popup.html

I also create an popup.html.acl file in the directory with the following lines:

@prefix acl:    <http://www.w3.org/ns/auth/acl#>.
@prefix foaf:   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>.

<#public>
    a               acl:Authorization;
    acl:agentClass  foaf:Agent;                               # everyone
    acl:mode        acl:Read;                                 # has Read-only access
    acl:accessTo    <https://localhost:8443/popup.html>.      # to the public profile

Informations:

Now my Question:

  • How can i give public access to that created popup.html
  • Why does the "normal" popup.html located in: common/popup.html don't need an .acl file?
  • Bonus: Is there an unminified-popup.html ?

Greetings
Jerome
