But it isn't in the libcurl in Fedora atm. For "direct" support, if someone really wanted, they could probably do what the RHN plugin does ... but that's not going to happen from upstream. > Does S3 support HTTP Basic authentication?

I know people have working setups where they have an SSL box on the server, and use SSL+Auth. Basic on the client. I also know a couple of people using x509 certs on their clients, with checking in their servers (on RHEL-5.x). So I'd look at either of those options, if you want to solve it in a easy/std. way. > I'm currently using the rightscale centos 5.2 ami. 5.2 yum is pretty old, I think you need the 5.4 yum for x509. Although using libcurl will be a RHEL-6 feature. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
