[darcs-users] get/pull with cookie?

[Paul Chiusano]

Is it possible for get/pull to use a cookie, or more generally, have
more control over the http request that gets sent when doing a get or
pull? I'd like to be able to just authenticate users via the browser,
then have darcs use the returned cookie when doing get/pulls.

Alternately, is there some way to get darcs to respond to a '401
Authentication Required' header by querying the user for a username
and password?

If that's not possible, then I have a more general question, which is,
how do folks typically handle having restricted darcs repositories
when using a hosting provider? I only have 1 ssh account with my
hosting provider, and I only want some people to have read access.
