dobesv commented on issue #1972: DRILL-7562: Support HTTP Basic authentication
for REST API calls
URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1972#issuecomment-585338367
@ihuzenko I think writing tests is going to be too much for me to do on
this, I've already spent more time on this PR than I should have.
Not only would I need to spin up a REST server fixture, but I would need it
to have some kind of username & password authentication system setup with
pre-defined usernames and password. If you would like to help me by adding
some tests to this PR that would be great! Otherwise I think I lack the
project-specific skill needed to do that in a reasonable amount of time.

> Key: DRILL-7562
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7562
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Web Server
> Affects Versions: 1.17.0
> Reporter: Dobes Vandermeer
> Priority: Major
>
> Current it appears that using the REST API requires you to login and get a
> session cookie. This is not ideal for use cases like "redash" where it just
> wants to operate mainly as a stateless client.
> Ideally credentials could simply be provided along with the request.
> Using HTTP Basic authentication would be an OK way to achieve that.
