Please describe the problem.

Attempting to git annex get from a p2phttp remote does not work with authentication. Instead of being asked to supply credentials like with git annex copy I instead get this:

$ git annex get file1.bin 
get file1.bin (from origin...) 

  FailureResponse (Request {requestPath = (BaseUrl {baseUrlScheme = Http, baseUrlHost = "localhost", baseUrlPort = 3001, baseUrlPath = ""},"/git-annex/d430acae-547f-4e90-8ed7-0e0c57071ae0/v3/key/MD5E-s321388544--0cfb0327388a04a212b45f7099191e1c.bin"), requestQueryString = fromList [("clientuuid",Just "a2aea5f6-9cf1-441a-9a40-061b62a1b078"),("associatedfile",Just "file1.bin")], requestBody = Nothing, requestAccept = fromList [application/octet-stream], requestHeaders = fromList [], requestHttpVersion = HTTP/1.1, requestMethod = "GET"}) (Response {responseStatusCode = Status {statusCode = 401, statusMessage = "Unauthorized"}, responseHeaders = fromList [("Transfer-Encoding","chunked"),("Date","Wed, 07 Aug 2024 11:59:48 GMT"),("Server","Warp/3.3.25"),("WWW-Authenticate","Basic realm=\"git-annex\", charset=\"UTF-8\"")], responseHttpVersion = HTTP/1.1, responseBody = ""})

  Unable to access these remotes: origin

  Maybe add some of these git remotes (git remote add ...):
    a84bd368-4b2f-4bea-88f6-9d01f6cf32a7 -- icg149@icg1911:~/Playground/test-repo4
failed
get: 1 failed

Even if I first git annex copy to the remote and set the credentials, git annex get doesn't seem to use them. git annex get seems to just abort on 401, instead of responding to the WWW-Authenticate header and retrying with credentials.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  • set up a repository served with git annex p2phttp
  • clone it
  • try to get a file

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

I am currently experimenting with supporting the p2phttp protocol in forgejo-aneksajo. So far I have a prototype working with public repositories and it was surprisingly straightforward, but private repositories do not work yet due to this bug.
