Cannot specify auth in initialization object
timwis opened this issue · comments
I'd like to pass a username and password to nano without storing it in the couchdb url string, so that the url string can be used in other parts of the application that require separate authentication. The documentation suggests I can pass an auth
object into the requestDefaults
property of the initialization object, like this:
var db = require('nano')({
url: 'http://localhost:5984',
requestDefaults: {
auth: { user: 'admin', pass: 'foo' }
}
})
But this seems to have no effect on the request, resulting in the standard 401 unauthorized error. Passing the same user/pass as part of the url (http://admin:foo@localhost:5984
) works fine.
In the meantime, I'm getting around this using a function that deconstructs the url, adds in the user/pass, and reconstructs it. But I'd prefer this cleaner approach.
I also tried upgrading the version of request
and I think I did it correctly... Am I doing it wrong or is this a bug?
