per-repository XferCommand?

Is it legal to do something like this?

[options]
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
SyncFirst   = pacman
[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[custom-server]
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --user=foo --password=bar -c %u
Server = http://example.com/

Note the XferCommand used for a custom directory.

Re: per-repository XferCommand?

No, XferCommand is a global setting. If you need to specify a user/password for http basic auth, just specify it in the URL:

http://foo:bar@machine.domain.tld/request/uri

Re: per-repository XferCommand?

What would happen if OP used different pacman configs for different repos?

BTW, removal of XferCommand has been proposed https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24737
