Is it possible for get/pull to use a cookie, or more generally, have
more control over the http request that gets sent when doing a get or
pull? I'd like to be able to just authenticate users via the browser,
then have darcs use the returned cookie when doing get/pulls.
Alternately, is there some way to get darcs to respond to a '401
Authentication Required' header by querying the user for a username
and password?
I think darcs can use wget or libcurl for the http protocol. Maybe
there is a way to pass the username/password in the url or in the
environment and have curl or wget pick it up from there? IIRC, darcs
decides to use curl vs. wget at compile time so I don't know which one
your binary will use (or more generally the binary of your users).
I'd start with the manual, I seem to recall there was a section on
passing things to the http layer.
Not sure if that was helpful info at all...I think I'm too sleepy to
be helpful right now :)
