Bug 272674: ports-mgmt/pkg 1.20.4 fails to read from a web server using dig=
est
authentication with http
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D272674



--- Description ---
I am running FreeBSD 12.4-RELEASE-p3 and use ports-mgmt/poudriere to create=
 a
package repository. This repository is hosted on a web server accessed by o=
ther
machines and jails.  The web server uses digest authentication to provide b=
asic
privacy for the contents of that repository (aiming to hide precise software
version numbers).

ports-mgmt/pkg version 1.19.2 works without issue. Version 1.20.4 fails.
Running pkg -d update I can see that version 1.20.4 attempts to fetch from =
my
web server using basic HTTP authentication but does not use digest
authentication in response to the server's 401 reply.

My pkg repository configuration:
my_poudriere_repo: {
  url:=09=09=20
"http://redactedusername:redactedpassword@pkg/${VERSION_MAJOR}${VERSION_MIN=
OR}$
{ARCH}-default"
  enabled:	   true,
  signature_type: "pubkey"
  pubkey:	  "/etc/ssl/keys/my_pkg_repo.pub"
  mirror_type:	  "none"
}

I have attached a redacted version of the output from pkg -d update.

I note that pkg began to use libcurl in place of fetch from version 1.20.0.

Workarounds:
- Lock ports-mgmt/pkg to version 1.19.2 before updating packages by running:
# pkg lock ports-mgmt/pkg
- Remove digest authentication from webserver, switching to basic or none.
