Not at present (Galileo/ECF 3.5), but there are two possible solutions:
1) It's quite possible for you to implement your own ECF filetransfer
provider (and introduce your own custom authentication for http) by
extending the appropriate classes in the httpclient provider
(org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient project). If you
would like to do this, please let us know on ecf-dev at eclipse.org
mailing list and we will support you as much as possible.
2) we (ECF) have an enhancement request to add the ability to pass http
headers into the file transfer:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=282608
Once this is in place (my guess would be for 3.5.1 in September), then
you would be able to provide headers. I don't believe P2 currently
exposes this API for specifying http request headers, however, so that
would require a p2 enhancement to complete.
So for immediate effect, my suggestion would be to do 1.
