Does metha support basic-auth authorization?

Yes, I just added a -u admin:admin flag to metha-sync - this is available from 0.2.22 on:

https://github.com/miku/metha/releases/tag/v0.2.22

Before that, metha-sync supported -H header:value extra header fields, which would allow you to pass any extra header to the requests, e.g.

$ metha-sync -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n user:password | base64)" http://ycc.repo.nii.ac.jp/oai

Hope this helps.

Amazing. Thank you. I already started writing my own script. However, it crashed already, 500 error... So I am happy to use a already hardened and well tested tool.
