The Bitbucket clone URL web fragment does not accommodate long protocol names

    • We collect Bitbucket feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      Summary: The Bitbucket clone URL web fragment does not accommodate names longer than "HTTP", such as "HTTP+SSO".

      Background:

      In Kantega's Kerberos Authentication add-on for Bitbucket, we want to provide a custom clone URL where Kerberos SSO authentication is enabled for the URL /kerberos-scm/*
      We do NOT want to enable SSO for /scm/*, since that may break Git clients which do either not support SPNEGO at all, or are unable to fall back to basic auth for users with no Kerberos session.

      Problem:

      We want to name our custom clone method "HTTP+SOMETHING", where "SOMETHING" will be "SSO", "KERBEROS", or "SPNEGO".

      However, the Bitbucket select box / button where the clone URL is chosen does not handle names such as "HTTP+SSO".

      We would like the CSS/UX to be changed such that longer names such as HTTP+SOMETHING can be displayed without problems.

      See attached PNG (in Ecosystem JSD) for example where "HTTP+SSO" overruns from the selection box into the URL text field.

      We could of course use a short name ourselves such as just "SSO", but that would be harder to understand from the user side, and it would also be non-obvious that this is HTTP SSO.
