HTTP authentication support

[anonymous]

Would it be possible to let the widget connect to Trac with a password? Thank you.

Hello, just pinging this ticket to see if there's any intention providing a way of dealing with Trac instances that are password protected? Curious how the RSS world at large deals with password protected feeds...

I'm also interested in integrating this with simple apache authentication.

Source to trac widget with HTTP Authentication

I modified the trac widget to support HTTP Basic authentication. I hope this is useful and allows you to close this ticket. I have uploaded both the widget and its source.

Thanks, Joshua Mullin

Adding myself as a CC to the ticket so I can receive feedback.

Thanks for the patch, I'll test it out. Since, as you note, the project seems dead, maybe you can take over the project and update the trunk directly?

[Joshua Mullin]

Thanks for responding. I didn't mean it as a jab or anything. It's just that I discovered this widget today and needed to access a trac install behind HTTP authentication. The ticket was a year old. I fixed it for myself, so I figured I'd give it back. I 'really' appreciate the work you did on this product. It's going to be massively useful in my work flow now.

If you want me to update the trunk directly, I can do so. I just registered an account here. Just let me know what the svn URL is (and give me access), and I'll be more than happy to do so. If not, I don't mind if you take it from here. I'm considering looking into the "multiple trac instances" request from the other ticket as well, as that would also benefit my needs.

Thanks, JM

Hopefully the project owner updates the trunk. If not, you can look into adopting the project: ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdoptingHacks. As far as I know, the project owner is the only one that can give you access to SVN, but if the project owner isn't around or wants to hand off the project, the Trac-hack admins can give you access.

Not sure if the OP is present anymore on this ticket, but if he/she is, please let me know if you have another password mechanism you're trying to support other than HTTP Basic Authentication. I kind of hijacked this ticket with the assumption that everyone authenticates the way I do.
