Simple but effective. One example of such a usage is mercurial: which uses HTTP basic auth for remote pushes to your web-based repository :) As that is a similar sort of thing it sounds ideal.
- mbrubeck 17y agoAgreed. HTTP Basic doesn't do everything, but at least the limitations are well known and the implementations are well understood. Combine it with SSL and you have reasonably secure request authentication.
