HTTP authentication patch

This patch was originally sent to the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/295024


"With the attached patch applied, if a channel's URL contains a user
name and password, Blam will use them for HTTP authentication.	This
doesn't prompt the user when the server requests HTTP authentication
and a user name and password aren't included in the URL, but it's a
step forward."

Comment 4 Mikael Hallendal 2005-07-10 10:26:22 UTC 
Hmm, looking at the patch it looks like you are supposed to make the URI include
username and passwords?

What I had in mind was that these are stored in for example the keyring instead
of as part of the clear text URI.
Comment 5 Danielle Madeley 2006-05-25 03:33:15 UTC 
FWIW, any support at all for this would be good.

HTTP Basic auth passwords are insecure anyway, so how they are stored is not super important. Keyring support would be cool though.
Comment 6 Carlos Martín Nieto 2006-12-12 22:21:50 UTC 
HTTP authentication support is done as of 1.8.4pre2.
