There are cases when using user:password for /raw/... access is handy: - when using query for auth (private_token) is not convenient for some reason (e.g. client processing software does not handle queries well when generating URLs) - when we do not want to organize many artificial users and use their tokens, but instead just use per-project automatically setup gitlab-ci-token : <ci-token> artificial user & "password" which are already handled by auth backend for `git fetch` requests. Handling is easy: if main auth backend rejects access, and there is user:password in original request, we retry asking auth backend the way as `git fetch` would do. Access is granted if any of two ways to ask auth backend succeeds. This way both private tokens / cookies and HTTP auth are supported.
