redis auth support in vibe.db.redis.redis.connectRedisDB(...)

[qwertzui11]

Hi, great library! thx for your work!

there's an open // TODO: support password at
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/blob/master/redis/vibe/db/redis/redis.d#L47
that simply could get resolved by replacing the TODO with
cli.auth(url.password);
In my opinion that would improve the usability a lot, eg with heroku and the chat tutorial.

string url = environment.get("REDIS_URL") ~ "/0";
RedisDatabase db = connectRedisDB(URL(url));

What do you think? If want, I can open a pull request.

That makes sense! There is already a pull request open that addresses this together with a few other possibilities: #1842 - It got a bit lost in the queue, but I'll try to get back to it as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot, if I can do anything to help you out, let me know! 😃

FYI apart from #1842 there's also the convenience PR for using strings too: #1852
