HTTP basic auth support? about elasticsearch-php

[polyfractal]

Technically, there is a way to inject client auth details directly into Guzzle...but it is a really gross option.

I'll add an easy way to do it today. Thanks for bringing it up, basic auth has been on my todo list for a while and I just never got around to it :)

Sounds great - thanks!

Added to Master. Going to leave it untagged for now because I'm not happy with how it is being tested (very roundabout way to do it, by introspecting headers in the log file). I'd like to refactor things so it is more easily testable, then I'll tag it.

You can use it from master in the mean time, if you need that functionality right now.

Usage:

$params = array();
$params['connectionParams']['auth'] = array('username','password', 'Basic');
$client = new Elasticsearch\Client($params);

The third parameter supports: Basic, Digest, NTLM and Any.

Docs have been updated, and the usage will appear on the Configuration page once they regenerate.

Wow, that was quick - thanks! 👍

I'll take it for a spin when I get a moment (probably tomorrow), and let you know if I come across any issues.

Just a quick update:
I've now tried the authentication, and it works like a treat - thanks!

Great! Glad its working out, lemme know if you run into any problems :)

i can confirm, works like a charm with es 1.7.3 and the elasticsearch-jetty plugin
