#268: cabal upload asks for a password in plain text ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Cabal upload asks for your password in plain text. That one is security related - you are asking for someones password, and giving the appearance that you aren't overly fussed about keeping it secret.
I'm happy to add that if anyone can figure out the code to do it. It's presumably different on ANSI terminals and the Windows command console.
getChar in a loop? You can always do: c <- getChar putChar '*' If you so feel like it. You can even use putStr "\b \b" to move back one character, even on Windows. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/268 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
