spdycat does not support basic authentication
I cannot find a way to use spdycat
with basic authentication, because it does not have curl like option --user
nor does it support url in format https://user:password@host
.
Is there any way to use spdycat
when basic authentication is used?
Use -H
option and specify authorization header field directory like this:
-H 'authorization: basic aGVsbG86d29ybGQ='
It's not very convenient, but possible indeed. I knew about that option, but thought that there's a little more user-friendly way to do that.
This is how you would do that without precalculating base64:
-H "Authorization: Basic `echo -n user:password | base64 -`"
We have base64 encoder, so it is not hard to add this functionality. Just add new option and add authorization header to custom header fields added by -H option.
