[PATCH v3 0/1] Proactive authentication over HTTP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently Git only sends authentication over HTTP once it's received a
401 response from the server.  This series allows users to indicate that
they (or the credential helper) know what kind of authentication is to
be performed and avoid the extra round trip.

Changes since v2:
* Improve parsing of configuration options as suggested by Junio.

Changes since v1:
* Add a `none` option to explicitly reset the value.
* Improve explanation of `auto`.
* Improve commit message to explain tricky edge case.
* Note that TLS should always be used.
