HTTP authentication

[amrox]

I'd like to use rietveld with an svn repository that requires HTTP
authentication for even read-only access. I tried the usual
http://user:password@host URL syntax, but it responded with "Enter a
valid URL.". If there any way to do this currently? If not, could
anyone give a hint on where to start if I were to implement it myself?

Look at the discussion around http://codereview.appspot.com/1026 --
this will eventually solve your issue.

[Afterthought] And a good thing it did too! You don 't really want
Rietveld to broadcast that password to everyone who visits your issue!

Good point =]

Although - I neglected to mention that I'm running my own local
instance, since you have to be on a VPN to access the repository in
question. I still wouldn't be thrilled about embedded a username/
password in the URL on a private server, but was willing to do so for
testing and evaluation.
