i was _just_ setting up a tika instance behind a nginx proxy with basicauth in place.

hadn't yet gotten to the "can't pass auth creds in dovecot" bit.
thx! for the patch; hopefully the premise/patch will get picked up.
(ya-request for a proper @dovecot public bug/issue queue!)

have you found any other 'magic required' to get solr & tika indexing text/attachments, respectively, in Dovecot context?
is it as straightforward as spec'ing the 'fts_solr' & 'fts_tika' urls, and Dovecot does the passing-around correctly?
