Through auth-source you can do:
(from the comments section, to be put into the manual eventually)

;; Easy setup:
;; (require 'auth-source)
;; (customize-variable 'auth-sources) ;; optional

;; now, whatever sources you've defined for password have to be available

;;; machine yourmachine.com:80 port http login testuser password testpass

;;; This will match any realm and authentication method (basic or
;;; digest).  If you want finer controls, explore the url-auth source
;;; code and variables.

I would recommend just this for auth-sources:

(setq auth-sources ((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t)))

Let me know if this works for you.  The idea of auth-sources is so you
don't have to customize 20 places with user names and passwords, so it
works for things like Gnus passwords and Tramp as well.

Hi Ted!
Thank you very much for your precious indications.
I will try that tomorrow and tell you how it worked.

i tried auth-sources and it worked fine. :)
Thank you.
I use actually wget and curl to retrieve https url, i think i will use
url-retrieve in next version of anything-delicious.el, even for deleting
and renaming bookmarks.

When i use encryption, (epa settings) i am prompt two times for
passphrase, is it normal?

No, if you're caching the passphrase
(epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption should be t).  Can
you check?

It is set to t, and it always prompt two times for passphrase.

One problem also is that passphrase is required for things that doesn't
need it:
For example with gnus i am prompt for passphrase when i start gnus to
read my mails but i use fetchmail to retrieve my mails. No password is
set in gnus to contact pop service.
Is it possible to write in authinfo a pop entry with a dummy password or
a password set to nil?

Sure, but let's be clear on what's happening.

You start up Gnus.  Then you are asked for what password?  You enter it;
what's in *Messages*?

You are asked again for what password?  You enter it again, what's new
in *Messages*?

The exact prompts and sequence of events are important.  I also need to
know your authinfo contents, suitably edited to keep your info private.

So i am speaking about the use of a .authinfo.gpg.

About reading mails/news in gnus:
When i call gnus , i do not need any authentification because at this
moment, my mails are already retrieved by fetchmail. gnus have only to
bring my mails from my incoming directory to his directory (Mail).
But gnus try to read .authinfo.gpg if it exist.

> You start up Gnus.  Then you are asked for what password?  You enter it;

I am asked a first time for my gpg passphrase.

> what's in *Messages*?

/home/thierry/.authi: 0% (0/721)
/home/thierry/.authi: 100% (721/721)

> You are asked again for what password?  You enter it again, what's new

I am asked a second time for my gpg passphrase.

> in *Messages*?

/home/thierry/.authi: 0% (0/721)
/home/thierry/.authi: 100% (721/721)

Now gnus start normally.

NOTE: actually i don't know why i, when i start again gnus i am prompt
again (two times) for my passphrase like if :

,----
| (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t)
`----

have no effect.


> The exact prompts and sequence of events are important.  I also need to

My .authinfo.gpg:

,----
| machine api.del.icio.us:443 port https login xxxxxx password xxxxxxx
| machine smtp.gmail.com port 587 login xxxxxx password xxxxxxxxx
`----

The smtp line replace the old settings in .gnus.el:

,----
| ;; (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 
| ;; "my_email_as_login" "My_password")))
`----

My authinfo config in .emacs:

,----
| (require 'auth-source)
| (require 'epa-file)
| (epa-file-enable)
| (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t) ; VERY important
| (setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg" :host t :protocol t)))
`----

I hope i was clear, feel free to ask me more infos.
Thank you.

I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you to turn gnus-verbose up.  Crank it to 10
and you'll see auth-source messages that specifically say what's
happening.  If you could repeat the report that way, I'll be able to see
what's happening.

Ah, I see it.  It's parsing that file twice, once to get the login name
and again to get the password.

The current auth-source API didn't allow me to batch this operation, so
I had to modify the API.  You'll have to get the latest Gnus from CVS
(auth-source.el plus the files that use the new API, including
nntp.el).  The changes will make their way into Emacs CVS as well, but I
don't know when.

I tried it and it works for me, so please try it out and let me know if
you find any problems.

Thanks
Ted

I have installed "No Gnus v0.11" and it seem to work fine.
My emacs version is:

,----
| GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.7)
|  of 2009-01-26 on tux
`----

I have also enabled gpg-agent to avoid beeing prompted many time.
I start it with keychain.
(epa should have a time-out to cache passphrase, but i didn't find it)

In my config, i use variables that are not supported by the authinfo
scheme (e.g emms-lastfm...) so i fetch the login/password like that:
(don't call gpg one time for user and one time for password)

,----
| (setq emms-lastfm-user-pwd
|       (auth-source-user-or-password  '("login" "password")
|                                      "ws.audioscrobbler.com:80"
|                                      "http"))
| 
| (setq emms-lastfm-username (car emms-lastfm-user-pwd))
| (setq emms-lastfm-password (cadr emms-lastfm-user-pwd))
`----

The same for anything-delicious.el that use actually curl and wget to
post.

So now when i start emacs, i am prompted only once for gpg
passphrase. :)

That's actually in a patch I will submit to Emacs once it's out of
pretest and the CVS tree is open.  You can find it in the emacs-devel
archives if you want it sooner, let me know if you need a specific
pointer.

Yeah, that's nice!  It's exactly why I wrote it, and I want auth-source
to be hooked into every package that can use it.  So if you want, tell
the emms-* maintainer about auth-source and maybe they will support it
so you don't have to do this kind of specific customization.  I can help
with a patch if necessary.

Thanks

authentification with url-retrieve

[Thierry Volpiatto]

Hi,

Is some body knowing how to pass login and password to 
url-retrieve/synchronously when doing an https request? 
(without prompt)

url-auth.el is not very well documented.

Thank you.
