Expected behavior

We have a private server where we store our vagrant boxes and we use json to maintain versions.
"vagrant init centos6 https://repo.private.com/repository/vagrant/centos.json" gives us the vagrantfile with box_url as expected.
We change the url to add credentials like user:[email protected]/repository/vagrant/centos.json
When we do a vagrant up, we get an 401 because vagrant doesnt reuse the credentials for downloading the box. As shown in the log, during the curl for json it passes the credentials correctly where-as when it tries to download the right version/box the credentials are missing

Actual behavior

401 error downloading the box

Steps to reproduce

1. use json to version ur box
2. setup private repo to store boxes
3. do vagrant init and change the box_url in vagrantfile
4. do vagrant up

You might need to add VAGRANT_SERVER_URL on top of your Vagrantfile.

ENV["VAGRANT_SERVER_URL"] = "https://repo.private.com"

If i set the VAGRANT_SERVER_URL variable and

• then use only config.vm.box_url = "centos.json" it tries to look for a json file in local directory and fails
• use full url (with credentials) on config.vm.box_url and use only box name in json (which is on server), it downloads the json correctly but when it tries to download the box it fails as it searches for box on local directory rather then using the server
  
  
  
  • use full url (with credentials) on config.vm.box_url and use full url (without credentials) for box in json (which is on server), it downloads the json correctly but when it tries to download the box it fails with 401 as before.

@rakeshm707

can you try:

config.vm.box = "https://user:[email protected]/repository/vagrant/centos.json"
