--------------------------------------
Summary: Support more flexible auth for HTTP Hook/Operator/Sensor
Key: AIRFLOW-4803
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-4803
Project: Apache Airflow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: hooks, operators
Affects Versions: 1.10.3
Reporter: Xiaodong DENG
Assignee: Xiaodong DENG
Current situation:
* Currently HTTP Hook/Operator/Sensor support authentication by specifying
"login" and "password" in connection definitions
* "login" and "password" can't be empty string, otherwise it will be
considered as "None"
(current code:
[https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/8644a6f94c345b10dce46b9c71a02c2c1285bc85/airflow/hooks/http_hook.py#L72])
However, there are a few limitations:
* in some cases, either 'login' or "password" or both can be empty string (not
"None") (for example,
[https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/data-science-workbench/latest/topics/cdsw_rest_apis.html#start_job_python])
* "requests" library actually supports much more flexible authentication
