So for example, cloning a git repo hosted on Diffusion with the URL like so:
http://<username>@<our-company-url>/diffusion/<repo>.git/
It doesn't prompt for password and fails with 403 (I assume because no password was given). However, if the username is omitted from the URL, it prompts for both username and password as normal.
I've noticed this happening for a while but it's never been a blocker. However now that I'm setting up automated builds for my company I need to find out the root cause of this, since the system (Teamcity and Phabricator plugin) formats URLs like that. Not sure if this is a Phabricator or a Git problem, but seeing as I can't replicate this with Github I thought I'd post here first.
Is this a known issue with Diffusion, or is it perhaps a misconfiguration on my part?
Edit: Ran a clone with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and GIT_TRACE on:
