[chef] chef-solo and apache basic auth

[Tom < >]

Hi,

Is it possible to pass chef-solo the URL for a chef tarball that is behind http basic auth website?

If I try basic auth I am receiving the following error.

It looks like it hasn't been implemented in the -r switch, but it does work getting the role and solo config file.

Thanks for any help,

Tom
