[New: openFATE 309717] make osc to remember http authentication header
Feature added by: JF Ding (jfding) Feature #309717, revision 1 Title: make osc to remember http authentication header Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: JF Ding (jfding) Description: In current implementation, osc use 'urllib2' to access api server for http transactions. The problem is, osc need to send out a pair of request for each access: 1st request without authentication header, and the response will be a 401 with Basic authentication challenge. 2nd request with dynamically generated authorization header (Authorization: Basic <base64 encoded string>\r\n) But we can make osc to remember the header at the first authentication challenge of each osc running. Then the http request number and network loading can be lowered a lot. Python's urllib2 module is flexible enough to add this feature. I have implemented it in my personal gitorious branch: http://gitorious.org/~jfding/opensuse/jfdings-osc/commit/62d705c29999856ec6d... (http://gitorious.org/~jfding/opensuse/jfdings-osc/commit/62d705c29999856ec6d...) Any advice? Thanks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309717
