Can https authorization work in non interactive mode?

[John Rice]

Hi - we are building a Mercurial plugin for the NetBEans IDE and would 
like to support HTTPS for users when Cloning, Push/Pull from a remote 
repository.

Looking at the Hg code this does not seem possible in non interactive mode:

/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/mercurial/httprepo.py
         :
       if not self.ui.interactive:
           raise util.Abort(_('http authorization required'))

Any suggestions or ideas to get around this/ support it?

For now we are just telling folks they can use HTTP or ssh (as long as 
they cache the certificate on the client first).

Thanks,

JR
