bazaar--client-certs--1.4--patch-1
From the patch log:
------>8------
Summary: Support client certificates on HTTPS connections
Immensely useful for shared archives and authenticating to HTTPS servers
without a password.
Use the ARCH_CLIENT_CERT environment variable to specify a file containing a
PKCS12 combined certificate (cert and private key together, protected by a
passphrase). Use ~/.authinfo to specify the certificate's passphrase, like
so:
machine <server host> login <friendly name> password <passphrase>
More detailed instructions will be on the Wiki shortly.
------8<------
I'm not sure about the whole ARCH_CLIENT_CERT thing -- it smells strongly of
Major Hack to me, but it's better than nothing. I'd like, if I could, to
extend the authinfo file format to include a cert parameter, but that would
require a bit more surgery than I really want to undertake right at this
moment (I need this functionality for work Right Now).
Appreciate a leg-up into baz and/or tla if it's deemed appropriate, or let
me know what I need to fix.
