AuthSession

class pyvo.auth.AuthSession

Bases: object

A requests-like session that pyvo can use to dispatch its network calls with authentication.

The user adds their credentials to the credentials object, such as adding a cookie, certificate, or password.

The network requests made by pyvo pass through here, and the URL of the request is matched against the capabilities of the service. Based on what credentials have been provided and the capabilities of the service, appropriate credentials are added to the request before it is sent.
