Authenticated Sync - Checkin Status

[João Agostinho]

Greetings,

Im trying to setup an authenticated continuous sync between my server and a mobile device, but im having some problems getting the current state of the sync process, more specifically if the sync is failing with a 401.

As far as i could tell from the examples and some responses on the forums, for continuous replication one needs to do a GET on "_active_tasks" and look for the status of the task with the id returned in the "session_id" of the response of the POST to "_replicate",

however my own tests on this showed that the status returned by the call to "_active_tasks" is always "Processed 0/0 changes" and there's no error in the response even though in the console of the sync gateway i can see a 401 and the documents aren't being synchronized.

Did i get it wrong and you need to check the status in another way? Or is it a bug?

If you're using PhoneGap or something equivalent, yes.

Could you show us the replication config (the JSON data you POSTed to /_replicate), and the JSON response from _active_tasks?
