cpe_remote auth headers about it-cpe

[clburlison]

For what it's worth this can be accomplished right now by editing cpe_remote/libraries/helpers.rb file with the following:

    def auth_headers(url, method)
      #CPE::Distro.auth_headers(url, method)
      require 'base64'
      {'AUTHORIZATION' => "Basic #{
        Base64.strict_encode64('username:password')}",
        'Content-Type' => 'application/data'
      }
    rescue StandardError
      Chef::Log.warn('Building auth headers failed')
      {}
    end

I tried a few variations of creating a CPE::Distro.auth_headers function in a separate helper library file but came up unsucessful. I'm sure that was user error on my part 🤷‍♂️

As for Erik's comment I think this could solved in the README as a new "authorzation" section. It would be nice to document how to add the CPE::Distro.auth_headers format so we could keep this in a sepreate non-cpe_remote cookbook.

@mikedodge04 @chilcote did you guys ever finish this? I thought you did.

+1 - would be useful deal with us cloud folks.

Don't think this is still needed.

[natewalck]

Why is this no longer needed? Has cpe_remote been updated to have this functionality?

[erikng]

Definitely still needed if the support hasn't been added.
