http(s) authentification : how to pass informations ?

[Zulgrib]

Hello, I failed to find documentation about that and rare traces found on the forum are like this :

Code:

https://${username:uristring}:${password:uristring}@${net0.dhcp/next-server}/pxe/menu.php

How are ${username:uristring} and ${password:uristring} populated in this case ?

Is it possible to prompt the user for these informations ?

Is there a list of all variables iPXE sets itself that could be passed to a request ?

searching for ipxe username finds the example, see http://ipxe.org/cmd/login

If you use the example I would strongly suggest using netX instead of net0

Where netX would use anything available while net0 would use specifically the NIC that got that ID ?

net0 would use net0
while netX would use the last opened interface http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/eba6bb3

if you start ipxe with native drivers and have 4 interfaces it runs the autoboot cmd internally which tries each interface in turn until it succeeds and gets a filename.
let's say that it is net3 than netX would be the same as net3 but when writing the script we don't know this and if it was written with net0 than it would fail.

there for, if you expect to be working with one interface only, then always use netX and not net0
