Hello, we provide user specific settings for our Maven repository via a HTTP GET request[1], but have the usecase that "anonymous" has read-only access, so authentication is not strictly enforced.
I try to setup our CI system with ansible coming from a shell based setup, where I have: curl --netrc -o ~/.m2/settings.xml http://repo/path/settings.xml Now, curl sends the basic auth header in any case, while get_url[2] waits for a 401 to come back before offering credentials. So with get_url the credentials are not used but the settings.xml for anonymous are downloaded. I could implement a PR with an option to send authentication preemptively and default to the current behavior. On the other hand I think anyone using get_url with url_password knows that authentication is needed, so IMO sending the auth-header directly by default would be more useful and the current behavior only produces the overhead of additional requests. Regards Mirko [1] we use Artifactory templating here.
