http auth support about smssync

[eyedol]

@mandric good point. Maybe a configuration that can be turned on and once that is done, there will be two fields asking for username and password? This will be useful for web services with user authentication. Could you post that as a feature request?

[mandric]

Yea, I was thinking that as well as supporting user:pass@ strings in the Sync URL...

[eyedol]

Slating this for next version. Maybe :-P

[olliebennett]

It appears that the user:pass@ urls (eg. http://user:[email protected]/) are permitted by the defined URL_PATTERN in Util.java.

Is there some other issue preventing at least this simple technique to be used, or has it been implemented since this issue was opened (and hence we could close it)?

[eyedol]

This issue hasn't been implemented yet. Keeping credentials on an app can be a bit complicated because of security. You have to consider storing them somewhere safe from preying eyes. I will find time and look into this

[mandric]

Any updates on this? I might take a first whack by supporting auth in the Sync URL.

[eyedol]

@mandric Nothing yet. That would be great. Let me know when you start.
