When working with repositories which require authentication you'll might need to use the associated API in order to access those files. For example you'll not be able to access a file on a private GitLab instance using the following URL:

https://gitlab.yourdomain.com/your-group/your-project/blob/master/README.md

Instead you will have to authenticate via the GitLab API. You might want to add a guest user to your GitLab project and use his/her private token.

In order to get the correct URL you would do the following:

1. Get the project id for a given project name: https://gitlab.yourdomain.com/api/v3/projects/your-group%2Fyour-project?private_token=your-private-token
2. Get a list of files for a given project id: https://gitlab.yourdomain.com/api/v3/projects/your-project-id/repository/tree?private_token=your-private-token
3. Get the raw file content for a given file id: https://gitlab.yourdomain.com/api/v3/projects/your-project-id/repository/raw_blobs/your-file-id?private_token=your-private-token

Note: When working with another repository management system such as Bitbucket or whatnot you will have to comply with the API given.

Instead of the expected output you might see the following error message:

Cannot read resource. sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

The cause of the exception is that the resource host is running over SSL and your Confluence instance doesn't trust the certificate of that host.
The solution is to add the resource host's SSL Certificate to the Confluence Java Keystore. For more information please refer to the Confluence documentation.

Yes.
