Custom Authentication

[Sasha]

Hello, guys.

I’m trying to write my own authentication for mercurial.
It need to check credentials in external program.
That’s why I need to get user credentials in extension code.

I took `textauth.py` (HTTP basic authentication for Mercurial) as a start point, but seems like `auth = req.env.get('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION')` is not working.
https://bitbucket.org/hstuart/hg-textauth/src/2454556925aed248235a6ddda66a7bd53b6e512d/textauth.py?at=default#cl-85
`auth = req.env.get('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION')` is always `None`.

This header is empty.
When I try to clone repository, I get user/password prompt, but I don’t know where to get them inside of extension, because `req.env` object doesn’t contain anything like base64-encoded credentials.
I can do authentication on Apache2/nginx side, of course, but I think it’s better to be done in Mercurial plugin.

I spend a couple of days investigating it, but did’t find any workaround.

Please, could you help me in this question?

Thanks in advance.
