dobesv opened a new pull request #1972: Support HTTP Basic authentication for REST API calls URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1972 This can greatly simplify the development of HTTP clients, as well as use from the command line using curl/wget, since you don't have to deal with storing the session cookie. # [DRILL-7562](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7562): Support HTTP Basic authentication for REST API calls ## Description Implement support for Basic authentication. This allows an HTTP client to supply the login credentials in the same request as the query. For clients that do not wish to keep track of cookies, this saves an HTTP round-trip per query. This is useful for access via the command-line, but also for client libraries where storing the cookie is a nuisance. ## Documentation Supports HTTP basic authentication ## Testing I tested it using `curl -u user:pass "localhost:8049/storage.json"`. When the feature was active, the request would succeed. If not, the server returned a redirect to the login page. Assistance in writing a unit test would be appreciated, I didn't see one for the current login system to base this off and I didn't want to spend a ton of time trying to figure out how to write a test for this one.
