Unable to use myget.org authenticated feed as the packageMirrorTargetUrl about klondike

[chriseldredge]

I didn't consider mirroring from repositories that require credentials, but changes could be made to MirroringPackageRepositoryFactory to send either an API key or basic authentication credentials.

This will require code changes.

Do you have a spare private feed you can grant access to me on? I don't have any private feeds and it would be helpful to have one to add support for this. My myget.org username is chriseldredge.

Hi Chris,

Sadly I don’t have the access to grant you a private feed. Sorry about that.

The authentication is just basic_auth though. So could be simulated on a Klondike feed relatively easily.

AFAIK this part is where the fix will sit.

remoteRepository.SendingRequest += (s, e) =>
{
e.Request.Timeout = (int) timeout.TotalMilliseconds;

                ((HttpWebRequest) e.Request).UserAgent = userAgent;

                e.Request.Headers.Add(RepositoryOperationNames.OperationHeaderName, RepositoryOperationNames.Mirror);
            };

        return remoteRepository;

In theory it’s just a case of adding a new header with the relevant base64 encoded username and password string. Sadly I’ve not had time to go back through the code to work out how to get those details passed in if appropriate. I’m not really a developer, I’m a sysadmin with a few dev skills.

There are a couple of guys here who may be able to help me extend your app and send you a pull request. I’ll see what I can do :o)

Cheers

Chris

It sounds simple enough, but this isn't a high priority for me, so a PR would be much appreciated.
