I can't afford to have this datastream managed by Fedora, because it's several megabytes large and there are over a million of them. @Ben: I actually figured out the certificate issue, but still if an image fails, I can see log reports mentioning the URL with username and password included. As said, the safest way I found is to have a redirect, so the end client can deal with authentication; but I'd prefer to have the resources as External ones so I can use Fedora as the only gateway to all resources. My question is: is there a plan to have Fedora support basic HTTP authentication through headers? By the way, I also found out that Fedora strips off the port number of the host when accessing an External resource.
