[jira] Updated: (COCOON3-35) Support access to URLs that require authentication.

["Steven Dolg (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON3-35?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steven Dolg updated COCOON3-35:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: authentication2.patch

This patch adjusts all PipelineComponents to use the o.a.c.p.u.URLConnectionUtils to access URLs.
This class will deal with authentication when accessing resources using the http protocol.

The approach is still the same: supply the user info part in the URL and authentication will be used.


However I decided against copying the code from Excalibur and included commons-codec as an optional dependency.

Basically this means:
* when you want/need authentication just add commons-codec to your classpath and provide the user info.
* when you don't want/need authentication, you don't need commons-codec and must not provide the user info.


As always, I'll wait a couple of days before applying this patch - in case there are some issues/opinions/...

> Currently our pipeline components cannot access URLs that require authentication.
> While it is possible to create specialized versions of each component and add authentication there, it shouldn't be too difficult to support this feature in every pipeline component we currently have.
