Is there a way to use a password-protected mirror with MacPorts?
See, I've enjoyed using the new MacPorts 1.7.0 feature where you can
easily add mirrors by editing dports/_resources/port1.0/fetch/
mirror_sites.tcl. I've set up each of the machines on my local
network to make their distfiles available via http and have added
their URLs to the file like this:
set portfetch::mirror_sites::sites(macports_distfiles) {
http://machine1.local/distfiles/:mirror
http://machine2.local/distfiles/:mirror
http://distfiles.macports.org/:mirror
...
This works great: now if any of my machines already has the distfile
downloaded, it'll get pulled from there instead of from the Internet.
Neat.
But now I'd like to password-protect my servers. I've set up HTTP
basic authentication and tried changing the mirror entries like this:
set portfetch::mirror_sites::sites(macports_distfiles) {
http://username:[email protected]/distfiles/:mirror
http://username:[email protected]/distfiles/:mirror
http://distfiles.macports.org/:mirror
...
But this doesn't work.

See, it cut the URL at the colon after the username, and seems to
have inserted the port name instead.

And because my ISP has provided me with one of those wonderful DNS
servers that can never say no, attempting to download from this
nonexistent URL in fact succeeds with a 200 status code and gives me
some awful search results page that I never wanted, so the checksums
fail.
Sorry for that rant, I just hate those kinds of DNS servers so much.
