------------------------------------
[~rickhall] Requesting a review - if it looks good, I can work on resolving
this.
> Add createResource(URLConnection conn) to DataModelHelperImpl to support URLs

> Key: FELIX-5680
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5680
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
> Affects Versions: bundlerepository-2.0.10
> Environment: macOS 10.12.6, Felix 5.6.4
> Reporter: Ankit Dangi
> Fix For: bundlerepository-2.0.12
>
>
> Referring to classes:
> * org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.DataModelHelperImpl.java
> * org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.FileUtil.java
> Current scenario: The method DataModelHelperImpl.createResource(URL
> bundleUrl) has an inner method loadEntry(String name) that calls
> FileUtil.openURL(bundleUrl) on the line 479. FileUtil.openURL(URL bundleURL)
> is a helper function for FileUtil.openURL(URLConnection conn).
> Problem: It restricts the use of URL connections that require authorization.
> As a result, a 401 error occurs for bundleURLs that require
> HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION. Note: It is not the same as setting
> Proxy-Authorization because Authorization is a different HTTPHeader.
> Possible Solution: Overload the DataModelHelperImpl.createResource() such
> that it takes as input a URLConnection object which then calls the
> FileUtil.openURL(conn). An URLConnection object has method
> setRequestProperty(key, value) which could then make it possible for
> DataModelHelperImpl.createResource() to handle diverse scenarios.
