Support OAuth 2 based authentication #1850
Description
New feature, improvement proposal
Next to HTTP Basic Auth and TLS Certificates there should be support for OAuth tokens being retrieved first and then being sent along via Authorization: Bearer ... as defined in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6750.
This requires additional requests for retrieving the token via a non-interactive or interactive OAuth flow.

This would be a valuable enhancement, especially for enterprise environments using modern artifact repository authentication.
A possible implementation approach could be introducing an OAuth authentication provider abstraction that retrieves and refreshes bearer tokens, while transporters consume them through standard
Authorization: Bearerheaders.It may also be useful to support both:
I’d be interested in exploring this issue further and contributing a possible implementation.
