HTTP Basic Auth not working with pixi

[pavelzw]

It seems to me that HTTP basic auth is not working in pixi.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to an artifactory / basic auth instance outside of corporate infrastructure so I could only reproduce this issue inside of corporate infrastructure.

Following setup:

{
  "my.quetz.instance":
    {"CondaToken":"***"},
  "repo.prefix.dev":
    {"BearerToken":"***"},
  "my.artifactory":
    {"BasicHTTP":
      {"username":"my-user","password":"***"}
    }
}

These commands work:

rattler-build build -r recipe/recipe.yaml -c https://my.artifactory/artifactory/conda-forge
pixi search -c https://my.quetz.instance/get/custom-channel private-package
pixi search -c https://repo.prefix.dev/setup-pixi-test private-package

This command doesn't work:

pixi search -c https://my.artifactory/artifactory/conda-forge polarify

So rattler-build is able to use the basic auth credentials from .rattler/credentials.json but pixi is not capable of doing so.
The credentials.json is read from pixi since otherwise the other pixi search commands would fail.
pixi search -c https://my.artifactory/artifactory/conda-forge polarify fails with the following error message:

Having an end-to-end test for HTTP basic auth, quetz api keys and repo.prefix.dev would probably help with debugging this issue.
