Gitea: Github API deprecation of access_token

Created on 17 Feb 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: go-gitea/gitea

I got an email from Github:

Hi @kolaente,

On February 15th, 2020 at 09:04 (UTC) your application (Kolaente's git-server) used an access token (with the User-Agent Go-http-client/1.1) as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API:

https://api.github.com/user

Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead as using the access_token query parameter is deprecated.

Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder on a monthly basis.

Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param for more information about suggested workarounds and removal dates.

I have set up my gitea instance so that people can use their github login to authenticate. If Github changes their api, this would need patching. Not sure though if it is only a third-party library we're using for this or if this is pure Gitea code.
