Git Backend makes first request to repo without credentials

[epignosisx]

Describe the bug
We are running Spring Cloud Config with the Git backend and we've identified that when we call /actuator/health it's first making a call to the git repo and receiving a 401 (Unauthorized), and right away a call that succeeds. It appears as if the first request is not sending the credentials, but the second is.

This doesn't seem right, am I missing something? I'm using a version a bit old (2.1.2.RELEASE), I looked through the issues but couldn't find any issue related to this.

Here is a screenshot of the outgoing calls that /actuator/health makes depicting the issue:

Notice how this is not an isolated incident, but rather, each failed attempt is followed by a successful one:

I'd say it's all up to your configuration. Can you share?

Thanks for the quick reply. We are running it inside a container, here are the environment variables we are setting:

SPRING_CLOUD_CONFIG_SERVER_GIT_USERNAME=some-username
SPRING_CLOUD_CONFIG_SERVER_GIT_PASSWORD=some-password
SPRING_CLOUD_CONFIG_SERVER_GIT_URI=https://some-org@dev.azure.com/some-org/some-project/_git/app-config
SPRING_CLOUD_CONFIG_SERVER_GIT_FORCE-PULL=true
SPRING_CLOUD_CONFIG_SERVER_GIT_BASEDIR=/opt/app-config
ENCRYPT_KEY=some-key
MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE=health

what version?

Seems odd that you have the username in the uri and env vars

Indeed. I haven't noticed that. Let me check if there is a reason for it and remove it to see if it makes a difference.

That's an old version and I would suggest updating to Hoxton.SR8
