This auth handler adds the Authorization header to the first HTTP request rather than waiting for a HTTP 401 Unauthorized response from the server as the default HTTPBasicAuthHandler does. This allows working with websites like https://api.github.com which do not follow the strict interpretation of RFC, but more the dicta in the end of section 2 of RFC 2617: > A client MAY preemptively send the corresponding Authorization > header with requests for resources in that space without receipt > of another challenge from the server. Similarly, when a client > sends a request to a proxy, it may reuse a userid and password in > the Proxy-Authorization header field without receiving another > challenge from the proxy server. See section 4 for security > considerations associated with Basic authentication. Patch by Matej Cepl. |
