Fallback to just HTTP BASIC Auth #150

Closed tkettenba closed 4 months ago

tkettenba commented 4 months ago

Hi,

with this PR, i like to introduce a feature, that may be used in order to access files directly from one data-node utilising 'HTTP Basic Auth' properties.

However, this is not tested in any way, and not thoroughly discussed - e.g. in sense of 'security implications'. Please share your thoughts on this, as well as reviews, if you find the time, and think it could be valuable.

You may find that there are a lot of white-space changes, you may filter thouse by utilising:

?w=1      (&w=1 if there is already a query part)

(I'm viewing the following URL right now: https://github.com/ESGF/esg-search/pull/150/files?w=1 )

BR, Thomas

Hi @tkettenba This repo is at this point deprecated. There will be not more builds to the .war file done by the ESGF partners as we move towards replacement versions. The ESGF2-US is working on an API to wrap Globus search and mimic esg-search functionality. optimistically any site could deploy those as an alternative to the current stack for the index node.

Hi @sashakames This is helpful, thank you.

Closing this one, then.

Please also note: This version does not work. I couldn't get the parameter passing of user/password tuple via config file to work. (using centos 7 wget-1.14).

BR, Thomas

https://github.com/esgf/esgf-wget. This is the replacement WGET API. it has not been deployed, and needs work to update it for use of the Globus and Elastic backends
