Today we are using Drools 4 and the gui for the rules. The backend of the gui repository is in Oracle, and we backup the oracle db each day. But we also perform an export from the gui using the import/export function to gather a known good repository. In drools 4 we can use: wget -O repository_export.zip http://localhost:4980/drools-gui/drools.../backup and this does the same as the export... but in guvnor we have enabled authentication, and when we run: wget -O repository_export.zip http://localhost:4980/guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/backup we get Internal server error, exception shown below. Is there a way to authenticate via a url call? wget -O repository_export.zip http://admin:passwd@localhost:4980/guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/backup doesn't work.
