I'm setting up a dedicated firewall / http proxy-cache (Squid) for my |
2 |
home network, with user authentication in 'digest' mode. Works fine with |
3 |
browsers but sometimes emerge fails. Turns out that some downloads are |
4 |
done with wget and wget supports only 'basic' authentication with proxy |
5 |
servers. So now I see the following options: |
6 |
|
7 |
1. use 'basic' authentication on the proxy, or |
8 |
2. bypass the authentication for non-browser requests (e.g. using a |
9 |
'browser' ACL element?), or |
10 |
3. convince emerge to use a different http downloader that supports |
11 |
'digest' authentication. |

|
13 |
I'll probably go with 1 or 2 but nevertheless is there any possibility |
14 |
to pursue 3? |
