Lance Norskog commented on SOLR-2240:
-------------------------------------

Is it possible to make this more general, and support other forms of authentication?

> We intend to use stream.url for indexing documents from remote locations exposed through http.
> However, the remote urls are secured and would need basic authentication to be able access the documents.
> The current implementation for stream.url in ContentStreamBase.URLStream does not support authentication.
> The implementation with stream.file would mean to download the files to a local box and would cause duplicity, whereas stream.body would have indexing performance issues with the hugh data being transferred over the network.
> An approach would be :-
> 1. Passing additional authentication parameter e.g. stream.url.auth with the encoded authentication value - SolrRequestParsers
> 2. Setting Authorization request property for the Connection - ContentStreamBase.URLStream
>     this.conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedauthentication);
> Any thoughts ??
