[Bug-wget] [PATCH] wget: Add --ssh-askpass support


From: Liam R. Howlett
Subject: [Bug-wget] [PATCH] wget: Add --ssh-askpass support
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 20:24:04 -0400

This adds the --ssh-askpass option which is disabled by default.

This change is to allow credential requests for both username and password
using a third party utility.  The reason for this change is to avoid using a
.netrc file for credential management.  With this change it will be possible to
use a password management utility that works with the existing functionality in
git.

--ssh-askpass will request the username and password for a given URL by
executing the external program pointed to by the environment variable
SSH_ASKPASS.  If the environment variable is not set, an error is
returned.  If an error occurs requesting the username or password, wget
will exit.

I could not find a development list for wget.  Please let me know if there is a
better mailing list to use.
