[neonhttpsrc] authentication support
Last modified: 2013-07-17 08:14:30 UTC
neonhttpsrc doesn't work with url that require authentication for example http://user:pass@1.1.1.2:8080/ works fine with souphttpsrc but not neonhttpsrc
Are you planning to work on this?
seems not so difficult, just add two property and if they are populated follow neon docs: http://www.webdav.org/neon/doc/html/refauth.html I can try to make a patch but I have no spare time in the near future, Nicola
Is neonhttpsrc still around in 1.x ?
Yes, it is even ported to 1.0 it seems. Question is, if this is still needed and if someone is going to work on it?
souphttpsrc is more complete and more supported I think the efforts should be to improve souphttpsrc (for example it does not support client certificate authentication)

The reason for keeping it around is that people (esp. on embedded systems) seem to be quite picky about their http client libs for some reason. So we'll probably add a curl client too sooner or later ;) Having said that, I don't see the need to keep this bug open if no one is working on it.
