Support HTTP authentication for git dependencies

Feature Request

I want to pull a dependency from a private git repo, but the repo requires HTTP authentication.

As far as I can tell, https://python-poetry.org/docs/repositories/ only supports PyPI repositories, so git repositories are not supported.

I want to be able to do something similar to:

$ poetry config repositories.git-domain-repo https://git.domain/repo/
$ poetry config http-basic.git-domain-repo username password

Or, even better, to configure auth for the whole git.domain.

Please add a way to specify a username and a password to be used when pulling a git dependency, such that the username and password are specified outside of pyproject.toml .

Poetry is a really cool project. This is my first issue using it - so all thumbs up :).

I'm not sure this should be a feature request. Stumbled across this trying to migrate a project from requirements.txt to poetry. Pip installed the git url with http basic authentication.

Poetry failed when trying to add the same url:

poetry add git+https://user+name:[email protected]/dept/repo
Skipping virtualenv creation, as specified in config file.

[ValueError]
Invalid git url "git+https://user+name:[email protected]/dept/repo"

Ok, maybe basic auth urls are just not supported. But trying this without username and password poetry ran into an endless dependency resolving loop:

poetry add git+https://gitlab.foobar.com/dept/repo
Skipping virtualenv creation, as specified in config file.
Username for 'https://gitlab.foobar.com': user+name
Password for 'https://[email protected]':

Updating dependencies
Resolving dependencies... (276.9s)^C

I think this should be a bug report.

@ephes: The problem in your example is the + in the username. This will be fixed with PR #2169.

Thanks a lot, I suspected something like that and therefore preserved the „+“ :).

@evgenii-petrov-arrival I second this feature request, however this might be solved with #5581. Not 100% sure though

HTTP Authentication is already supported in Poetry. See #5567 #5581.
