Hi, Issue I'm trying to solve is this: we're implementing a script to create a pull request directly from a repo, without using the web interface. This script uses an API key to authenticate.
When authentication fails (invalid API key) you still get a valid redirection response, but to a login screen rather than to the pullrequest page. This makes it difficult for the script to differentiate a success from a failure. One would have to search the response body for a certain string, which is fragile. The RFC that I'm sending adds an HTTP pragma header 'login-required' to the response, which can be checked by the script in a reliable way. Let me know what you think of this, and whether you see alternative solutions. Thanks, Thomas _______________________________________________ kallithea-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/kallithea-general
