[Qgis-developer] [BUGFIX] 9234 - WFS client doesn't expose Header Authorization

[rldhont]

Hi devs,

I have opened a pull request to fix the bug #9234 - WFS client doesn't 
expose Header Authorization.
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1266
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/9234

Like for the others OGC providers: WMS and WCS, the user can set the
login and password to access to WFS protected data. But the QGIS WFS
provider doen't expose header authorization. It doesn't use login and
password.
This mean that QGIS is not able to acces to WFS protected Data. It can't 
be used to edit vector data through the web with user adminsitration.

I would like to see this fix backported so that we don't have to wait 4 
months before we can use QGIS to edit data through WFS with authorization.

Regards,
