Chantal Ackermann commented on SOLR-1490:
-----------------------------------------

It would be nice if the user info from the URL could be used as done in this code snippet:

{code:java}
URL url = new URL("http://user:pass@domain.com/url");
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();

if (url.getUserInfo() != null) {
    String basicAuth = "Basic " + new String(new Base64().encode(url.getUserInfo().getBytes()));
    urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", basicAuth);
}
{code}
taken from http://stackoverflow.com/a/13122190/621690

InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream();

> Right now, there seems to be no way to provide HTTP authentication (username/password) to the URLDataSource. This makes any password-protected data sources inaccessible for indexing. I would try and add support myself, but with all things security-related, I'm fearful of shooting myself in the foot with systems I don't fully understand. Thanks for your time/feedback!
