[mylar-dev] Re: Support queries that require login
|
Ok, so I wasn't patient enough to wait for feedback and already
implemented this:
The latest patch to bug 151602 should be already somewhat usable, but
contains a few UI layout problems:

Screenshot of the new login configuration is here:

Hi!
Are you planning to address Bug #151602 before 1.0 ?
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=151602 Support queries
that require login)
This is the one and only thing that is currently stopping us from
using Mylar as is. Currently we are using a custom built CVS version
right after 0.8.0 that has the patch applied that I contributed to
that bug.
If you are lacking cycles, I have some time this weekend that I could
spend on writing a new (and better) patch, but would someone be able
to review it next week or so and/or help me during/before creating the
patch because it's not that trivial:
Basically what this patch would need to do is
1) to define the login request (usually it should be POST for security
reasons) there should be an UI for defining a HTTP request (URL,
Method, parameter name/value pairs should be enough) so I'm thinking
this could be abstracted to be usable elsewhere as well...
At request time, variable replacements must be done for the URL and
request parameters.
2) The UI also needs to define another regular expression: some login
pages generate a token that must be passed to the login request or the
login won't be successful. The token needs to be extracted from that
page.
3) maybe sometimes this login page could be on a separate URL from the
main repository URL so I'm not sure if there also needs to be a
repository parameter for the login page URL or could the main URL be
used instead
I would like is to hear if this sounds good / acceptable before I
start creating the patch.
