[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Authentication and External Solr

[Stephen Schor]

Hi.

Coming back to this since I've spent some more time poking around the
ASpace code and have a little better
understanding of its layout and Solr in general.

Seems like I could add basic_auth credentials on the NetHTTP request object
<http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.3.1/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html#class-Net::HTTP-label-Basic+Authentication>
in ./wars/indexer.war/indexer_common#do_http_request().

Does anyone have experience monkey-patching methods defined in the warred
files?
I tried to do it in a plugin but it seems that plugins load before the
content of indexer.war.

I don't *mind* hand-editing and regenerating indexer.war - but it seems
less palatable (believe it or not)
than monkey patching and more oral history to maintain once it's time to
update our version of ASpace.

Stephen
