Config from private github repository via raw

[Jasstkn]

Hi!

I'm trying to configure getting configuration as a code from private repository in my organization.

I was able to successfully add config with temporary token like: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ORG/REPO/BRANCH/config.yaml?token=XXXXX

But this token expires every 7 days and I want to replace it via access token from my service account user. I've created token using doc here: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token, and paste url in format:

https://$TOKEN@raw.githubusercontent.com/ORG/REPO/BRANCH/config.yaml

And I've got 404. I'm gonna to dig into this problem a bit later, but maybe you already have a solution? If not I would like to contribute to allow pass some headers to this script: https://github.com/odavid/my-bloody-jenkins/blob/master/bin/fetchconfig.py

I've been playing around and found out that if you use Basic auth it works fine and return 200.

>>> headers = {'Authorization': 'token XXXXXX'}
>>> requests.get(source, headers=header)
<Response [404]>
>>> requests.get(source, auth=('user', 'access_token'))
<Response [200]>

@odavid what do you think about such problem? I see not many solutions for that but the main blocker from my point of view is to map auth configuration with the exact URL from the list of URLs...

Hi @Jasstkn I think that maybe we need to have an environment variable named

JENKINS_ENV_FETCH_CONF_HTTP_HEADERS="HEADER: VAL, HEADER2, VAL2..."

Then in the script we can check if this env var exists, parse it and add the headers to the request. Hope it helps

Oh, it's actually a quite nice solution. Don't you mind if I try to contribute?

Ok, I'll try to do it then. Thank you for the great idea!

Hi @Jasstkn, have you been able to implement the JENKINS_ENV_FETCH_CONF_HTTP_HEADERS? If not, can I help? Thanks!
