    Description

      the following code:

      file { '/tmp/hello.txt':
      		 
      ensure => file,
      		 
      source => "http://myuser:mypassword@hostwith.basic.auth.demo/hello.txt",
      		 
      }

      currently results to:

      2016-11-14 09:41:32 +0000 /Stage[main]/Hello/File[/tmp/hello.txt] (err): Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s) http://myuser:mypassword@hostwith.basic.auth.demo/hello.txt

      it would be great if this was supported in the product
