lovely.buildouthttp 0.4.1

HTTP Basic-Authentication

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

Let’s take the example protected location, http://www.example.com/dist

First we would need to add the extension and the find link for our protected location:

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

Then create the .httpauth password file, this file contains all authentication information. The .httpauth file can be placed in the root of the current buildout or in the ~/.buildout directory. Each row consists of realm, uri, username, password.

Here is an example of the .httpauth file:

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.

Thanks to Tarek Ziade for bugfixes and extensions.

2011/03/01 0.4.1:

• exclude empty lines form .httpauth, this fixes issue 3.

2010/12/29 0.4.0:

• Allow the inclusion of the .httpauth file from within the buildout itself. This adds to the realms set in ~/.buildout/.httpauth

2010/10/11 0.3.7:

• bugfix: make git credentials work without any basic http auth definitions

2010/10/11 0.3.6:

• added missing CHANGES.txt file, this fixes the installation

2010/10/09 0.3.5:

• the github download credentials are now also added for zc.buildout.download based recipies. this allows to use github private download urls with any download recipe, such as hexagonit.recipe.download

• moved to github http://github.com/lovelysystems/lovely.buildouthttp

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.
