Basic authentication for stream.url
-----------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-2240
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2240
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: update
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Jayendra Patil
            Priority: Minor


We intend to use stream.url for indexing documents from remote locations 
exposed through http.
However, the remote urls are secured and would need basic authentication to be 
able access the documents.
The current implementation for stream.url in ContentStreamBase.URLStream does 
not support authentication.

The implementation with stream.file would mean to download the files to a local 
box and would cause duplicity, whereas stream.body would have indexing 
performance issues with the hugh data being transferred over the network.

An approach would be :-
1. Passing additional authentication parameter e.g. stream.url.auth with the 
encoded authentication value - SolrRequestParsers
2. Setting Authorization request property for the Connection - 
ContentStreamBase.URLStream
    this.conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + 
encodedauthentication);

Any thoughts ??
