I have setup a pypiserver behind an nginx proxy which uses htpasswd for authentication. I am currently able to upload sdists, but I can't figure out how to download them. I want to be able to download them when running setup.py test and somehow by using pip. Is this possible?

[distutils]
index-servers =private[private]
repository = https://example.com/pypi
username = remco
password = mypass

To make it extra hard the server is currently using a non verified ssl connection.

I tried the following setup based on http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#setuptools-package-index, but the only documentation on this is 'XXX'

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7from setuptools import setupsetup(name='asd',version='0.0.1',package_index='https://example.com/pypi/simple',test_suite='test',tests_require=['foo==0.0.1'])

for using your index with pip create ~/.pip/pip.conf with this content:

[global]
index-url = https://remco:[email protected]/pypi/simple
cert = /etc/ssl/certs/your_cert_CA.pem

A little bit documentation on pip.conf is here and on pypiserver here

Perhaps you can also try using package_index='https://user:[email protected]/pypi/simple in setup.py.
