My personal bin to put stuff around, it will definitely change… or not? who knows
Introducing Faraday::Midddlewares::BuildService
It’s been a journey since Multi-factor authentication on SUSE’s Build Service @ suse.com blog, but now there’s code to show! 🎉
A Faraday middleware for Build Service Authentication is now live!
Check it out at https://github.com/SUSE/faraday-middleware-bs-auth
Cuz… don’t repeat code? Yep, that pretty much sums it.
I don’t know whether it’s well known or technical-enough to be public information, but there’s a special authentication mechanism for the build service (see the blogpost) that we needed some workloads to support.
The majority of the workloads we maintain are written in Ruby, and after copypasting the original implementation once, we decided to make a gem out of it.
So, yep, DRY.
Honestly? Nothing, it’s just a middleware that will retry requests with the requested authentication.
The blogpost @ suse.com really gets to the technical reference and the gem is just an implementation of it.
