Description Kevin Sawicki CLA 2011-03-24 13:28:16 EDT 
The Mylyn GitHub connector posts the token and user values as POST data on each request.

This method is deprecated: http://develop.github.com/p/general.html

Basic authentication should be used instead.
Comment 1 Kevin Sawicki CLA 2011-03-24 13:34:55 EDT 
This also currently causes searching and listing issues to fail for private repositories
since authentication is not included in this request.
Comment 2 Kevin Sawicki CLA 2011-03-24 14:00:45 EDT 
Fix pushed to: http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2916
