If connecting to a web server which has authentication
turned on, QEMU gets a 401 as curl has not been configured
with any authentication credentials.
This adds 4 new parameters to the curl block driver
options 'username', 'password-secret', 'proxy-username'
and 'proxy-password-secret'. Passwords are provided using
the recently added 'secret' object type
$QEMU \
-object secret,id=sec0,filename=/home/berrange/example.pw \
-object secret,id=sec1,filename=/home/berrange/proxy.pw \
-drive driver=http,url=http://example.com/some.img,\
username=dan,password-secret=sec0,\
proxy-username=dan,proxy-password-secret=sec1
Of course it is possible to use the same secret for both the
proxy & server passwords if desired, or omit the proxy auth
details, or the server auth details as required.
