Adding remote source authentication to plugin

[anarwal]

Hello,

I was trying to use your plugin for my project's documentation however I hit a roadblock while downloading from remote source. As my file is on company's server (internal github) I will have to provide authentication token when fetching from source url. Do you have this functionality planned?

Hey,
I actually had this thought a few days ago. I'll implement this later today for you.

Awesome! @RDIL that would be very helpful for me.

Just released 2.1.0 with this feature. It is now documented in the readme.

@RDIL Thanks for this release. I saw another error when using "private github endpoints" to download remote file. It results in
[ERROR] Error [ERR_FR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS]: Maximum number of redirects exceeded
which is caused by SSO redirect when using company's github endpoints. I saw adding cookie-jar (https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios-cookiejar-support and axios/axios#48) would solve the problem for redirects.

Any suggestions?

You should be able to add axios-cookiejar-support to your project's dependencies, then apply it in your docusaurus.config.js by putting this at the top:

const axios = require("axios")
const { wrapper } = require("axios-cookiejar-support")

wrapper(axios)
