Revision 40a18fc77ca3ba1b018f0fbdcbdf4a6d237aadf3 authored by Jeff King on 25 February 2017, 19:18:31 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 27 February 2017, 18:35:24 UTC
This variable needs to be specified to make some types of
non-basic authentication work, but ideally this would just
work out of the box for everyone.

However, simply setting it to "1" by default introduces an
extra round-trip for cases where it _isn't_ useful. We end
up sending a bogus empty credential that the server rejects.

Instead, let's introduce an automatic mode, that works like
this:

  1. We won't try to send the bogus credential on the first
     request. We'll wait to get an HTTP 401, as usual.

  2. After seeing an HTTP 401, the empty-auth hack will kick
     in only when we know there is an auth method available
     that might make use of it (i.e., something besides
     "Basic" or "Digest").

That should make it work out of the box, without incurring
any extra round-trips for people hitting Basic-only servers.

This _does_ incur an extra round-trip if you really want to
use "Basic" but your server advertises other methods (the
emptyauth hack will kick in but fail, and then Git will
actually ask for a password).

The auto mode may incur an extra round-trip over setting
http.emptyauth=true, because part of the emptyauth hack is
to feed this blank password to curl even before we've made a
single request.
