Access to password protected OBR
--------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-651
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-651
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
            Reporter: Remco Poortinga - van Wijnen
            Priority: Trivial


For a project I would like to configure a 'private' OBR (somewhat against the 
federated idea of OBR I guess, but anyway). In other words: username/password 
protected access. Https OBR are possible, but I have no idea if there is an 
'official' way (from Felix' point of view) for specifying credentials for the 
specified OBR URLs.

Just to see whether it would work I created a test version where 
username/password can be specified in a RFC1738 compliant way, e.g. 
https://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/rest and added an Authenticator to the 
bundlerepository bundle, which gets the username/password from the URL if it is 
set (see http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URL.html#getUserInfo()).

This seems to work OK; would this be interesting for others as well?
