Send custom HTTP headers when publishing

Hello,

When publishing to a private repository, it’s necessary for us to send custom HTTP headers when doing this. These headers contain, for example, authentication tokens.

I know that Maven uses a ~/.m2/settings.xml file for this where custom httpHeaders can be configured per server/repository. I haven’t found an analogous functionality in SBT to do this aside from basic authentication.

Is it possible to do this at the moment with SBT? If not, please consider this a feature request. 👍

@christianri if it helps, here is what I threw together https://gitlab.com/SLUDG/gitlab-sbt

I’ve never written an SBT plugin before, so I’m sure it’s far from perfect, but I got it to work!

Edit: I’ve moved the repo over to https://github.com/k8ty-app/sbt-publish

Hi @gilandose

Thank you so much for all the explanations. To sum this up:

To upload an artifact -

addSbtPlugin("com.gilcloud" % "sbt-gitlab" % "0.0.4")  // Add plugin; note version (project/plugin.sbt)
enablePlugin(GitlabPlugin)   // Enable the plugin (build.sbt)

// Define the plugin's settings(build.sbt):
GitlabPlugin.autoImport.gitlabProjectId :=  Option(1234)
GitlabPlugin.autoImport.gitlabDomain :=  "my.gitlab.net"
GitlabPlugin.autoImport.gitlabCredentials := Option(GitlabCredentials("Deploy-Token", "some-value"))

To download an artifact (dependency)

// in build.sbt
val glHost      = "my.gitlab.net"
val glGroup     = 4321
val glGrpRegistry=s"https://$glHost/api/v4/groups/$glGroup/-/packages/maven"

resolvers += s"gitlab at $glGrpRegistry"

val auth:Authentication = Authentication(Seq(("Private-Token","some-value")))
csrConfiguration ~= (_.addRepositoryAuthentication("gitlab",auth))
updateClassifiers / csrConfiguration ~= (_.addRepositoryAuthentication("gitlab",auth))
