Description Chris St. Pierre 2012-02-21 18:31:13 UTC

Description of problem:

Some repos (e.g., Novell's SLES repos) require a username and password to access them.  It would be swell if Pulp could support this; as it stands, there's no obvious way to sync, e.g., https://username:password@nu.novell.com/repo/$RCE/SLE11-SDK-SP1-Pool/sle-11-x86_64/rpm/x86_64/.

I tried entering the feed URL with https://username@password@... in it, but that didn't work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.0.254-8

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to sync a repo that requires username/password authn.
2. Fail.
3. Cry in your whiskey.
  
Actual results:

Alcoholism.

Expected results:

Sync.

Hi

I also wanted to sync SLES repos and here is what worked for me in case anyone else need it:

pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id=SLE11-SDK-SP3-Pool-x86_64 --feed="https://user:password@nu.novell.com/repo/\$RCE/SLE11-SDK-SP3-Pool/sle-11-x86_64/"

Note that you need to escape $ character in feed url. Also url must contain path to directory which contains repodata folder.
