lovely.buildouthttp 0.3.4

HTTP Basic-Authenication

Whith this extension it is possible to define password protected package directories without specifying the password and user in the url.

Example: protected location http://www.example.com/dist

File buildout.cfg: [buildout] find-links=http://www.example.com/dist extensions=lovely.buildouthttp

Create the password file, this file contains all authentication information. Each row consists of realm, uri, username, password.

file ~/.buildout/.httpauth: Example com realm, http://www.example.com, username, secret

Note that basic auth also works with any recipe using zc.buildout.download (e.g. hexagonit.recipe.download) because this extension also overwrites the url opener of zc.buildout.

Github Private Downloads

Private downloads on http://github.com/ are protected by a user token (see: http://github.com/blog/170-token-authentication). This extension allows to use such urls too. It uses the global git configuration for github.user and github.token. For setting up this config see http://github.com/blog/180-local-github-config.

Credits

Thanks to Tarek Ziade for bugfixes and extensions.

2010/09/28 0.3.4:

• fixed behavour with python 2.6+. python 2.6 suddenly counts failed requests but each request without auth counts as one, that makes buildout fail on every 5th download in a single run. I found this on windows, but should fail on linux too.

• fixed typo on git command, introduced in 0.3.2

2010/08/28 0.3.2:
