[PATCH v2] credential-cache: respect request capabilities

From
M Hickford via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jan 6, 2025, 19:52 UTC
Message-ID
<pull.1842.v2.git.1736193131798.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1842.git.1734729534213.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: M Hickford <mirth.hickford@gmail.com>

Previously, credential-cache responded with capability[]=authtype regardless of request.

The capabilities in a credential helper response should be a subset of the capabilities in the request.
