Electron-builder: password with generic provider

[erikkurtu]

• Version: latest
• Target: nsis

I'm using electron-updater with a "generic" provider. The setup is working well, but I need to secure my web directory and setup file. I'd like to do this via an htaccess login or parameter.

I setup a htaccess parameter and tried setting my url property (in package.json) to www.mydomain.com/mydirectory/latest.yml?param=rightthing. And then setting the path in latest.yml to setup.exe?param=rightthing. That, and a few variations, didn't work.

Can you give me some direction on setting something up to password protect my yml and setup files while still using the generic provider?

Thanks much
