It is not possible to use custom HTTP client with requests to Azure Devops

[ligurio]

I'm using Azure Golang SDK and want to use custom HTTP client to access to Azure Devops.
As far as I understand it is not possible now. Please provide such ability.

@ligurio , can you provide more detail on what you are trying to do?

@tedchamb I'm trying to access to hosted Azure Devops instance with custom SSL certificates. I don't know how to explain in terms of security. Probably my company uses their own SSL PKI and internal sites uses certificates from it.

I filed a pull request #49 long ago which could easily be expanded to have the ability to set configuration options on the HTTP client.

@tmeckel So I've looked at adding options to enable you to use a custom http client as well as retry based on your implementation.

My concern is that to allow a user to set custom settings or options with NewClientWithOptions function all the auto-generated clients (e.g. git, build, core etc.) must also support the ability to pass in options.

The actual call to NewClient is nested through a few different funcs. @tedchamb, could you share some light into how and where these clients are generated from so I can take a crack at allowing users to specify custom options in all clients?

Any updates here? We also need custom HTTP clients

[michalg9]

Any updates here? Seems quite some people are requesting this. There was a PR from @artbegolli making it possible to use custom http client (#78) - it seems to be an extension of PR from @tmeckel (#49) (thanks guys! 🙌). However, both of those PRs are closed and seem not to be included in the main release. Any news on it @tedchamb ? 🙏

Hello 👋 I've opened a pull request for a simple way to supply a custom HTTP Client in #103. That PR should close this issue.

[tmeckel]

@c-brooks good luck ... I closed my PR #49 here because the repo is definitely abandoned and does not get the care it deserves from Microsoft. So many issues have piled up here that it's kinda ridiculous.
